Organisers of the Harrogate Christmas Market say they're planning to hold the event in November.

The market, on Montpellier Hill, was cancelled last year because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The committee which organises the event are planning to meet - to put firm plans in place for the event in November.

It's after the government announced a road map out of lockdown which could see all restrictions lifted in June.

Organiser Brian Dunsby said: "We have in mind arranging our first Group Meeting on Wednesday 23rd June 2021 if the current review dates are not changed. The aim is to review the Market plans and agree changes needed – depending on the precautions required during November – if any!

"In the meantime we hope to start inviting applications from our established Market Traders based on the same layout and prices that were agreed for 2020 before it got cancelled.

"Please let me know if you wish to suggest any changes in the layout and the stalls at this stage."
