Advantages: the whole fayre

Disadvantages: it gets very busy, not enough toilets

The st nicholas fayre takes place every year in york normally at the end of november.

This market is fairly large with most of it spread down one street with farmers market placed at the top. There are normally a lot of people at this market and it can get very busy. Because the farmers market is placed at the top in a square it is packed. For this reason you cannot see a lot and often get shoved and pushed around.

The main market isnt as bad as that and there are some nice looking things for sale. This part of the market is mainly crafty with mainly decorations for sale.

The downside to it being busy it the queue for the toilets. They were massive and no one could believe the size of the toilet queue in the nearby marks and spencers. So dont leave it till the last minute if you need the loo.

Run in conjunction with the st nicholas fayre is a medievial event in barley hall. We would have visited this however we couldnt find the place!

If you want to get the best out of the market my advice would be to get there early so that the stalls are less picked over and its less crowded. Oh and to wrap up warm as its normally freezing!

Summary: very busy so get there early
