PICTURE SPECIAL: Harrogate Christmas Fayre gets underway and we take a look at what you can expect when you visit

Harrogate kick-started the Christmas season this weekend with a spectacular programme of festive events.

The Christmas Fayre on Cambridge Street features around 50 traders from Yorkshire, the UK and Continental Europe with wooden chalet-style stalls located on Cambridge Street, Market Place, Station Square and Cambridge Crescent - and will run from Friday, December 3 till Sunday, December 12.

Little Bird Made hosted their Artisan Market at the weekend, where there were more than 60 stallholders offering a variety of festive arts and crafts, clothing, homeware, jewellery and locally produced food and drink.
