Ripon Grammar School Christmas Market - Saturday 17th November

Sought-after face cream, which sold out within six hours is just one of many exciting products on sale at the Ripon Grammar School Christmas Market, to be held between 4 - 7pm on Saturday 17th November.

Other coveted goods on more than 40 stalls include luxury scarves, hand-made jewellery, vintage home ware, stylish bags and hampers. There will also be organic turkeys, home-made cakes and liquors and Christmas decorations.

From Swinton Park’s luxury castle hotel to the specialist Little Chocolate Shop of Leyburn, a whole range of top quality Yorkshire businesses will be hosting stands at the event, which will be opened by Tyne Tees TV’s Claire Montgomery.

Our Avon lady is offering the first 50 lucky customers free tester sachets of the company’s Anew Pro Line Corrector Treatment, now back in stock, but selling at a rate of ten bottles a minute. Celebrities including actresses Anna Friel and Tamzin Outhwaite and TV presenters Claudia Winkleman, and Lisa Snowdon praised the £30 cream after clinical trials reported reduced signs of ageing in just seven days, with 100pc of women in tests saying they saw a reduction in wrinkles over 11 weeks. As well as the free tester samples, there will be a limited number of pots of the Anew cream for sale on the day, at a special offer price of £20.

Shoppers can also buy scented candles, locally produced luxury sports moisturisers, fresh and faux floral displays, handcrafted marble gifts, embroidered pictures, hand sewn doorstops and cushions and much, much more.

Jamie Oliver, Delia Smith and Albert Roux are among a number of celebrity chefs supporting one third year student’s charity stall by donating signed cookery books for auction and Ripon Grammar School’s Young Enterprise team, Connect, will be selling their own brand of luxury jams, chutneys, cranberry sauce and a wide variety of specialist teas.

Live music, mulled wine and mince pies will add to the festive atmosphere in the fairy light-decorated main school hall. Entry £1. Free parking. All welcome.
