Festive Finds & Vinyl Vibes

Festive Finds & Vinyl Vibes takes over Scarborough Market Hall & Vaults and St Helen's Square on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 December, a full weekend of Christmas shopping and live entertainment across the town centre. It's billed as a festive celebration around the Market Hall, and it runs from 9:00am to 4:00pm on both days.

Across the two days, the Market Hall and the surrounding square fill with food and drink, live entertainment, family activities, and stalls with unique Christmas gifts. It's the kind of weekend that works as a one-stop shop: you can sort your presents, grab something to eat, and let the kids get stuck into the activities without having to move on to a second or third location. The stalls are the main draw for the shopping side of things, and the food and drink keep you there long enough to actually browse rather than just dash in and out.

On Sunday 6 December, the Scarborough Record Fair joins the mix, so if you're into vinyl, that's the day to make your visit. It's a good reason to come back for a second day, too — you can spend Saturday on the gifts and Sunday on the records. Between the two, you've got the festive market and the record fair running under the same umbrella, with the Market Hall and St Helen's Square providing the space for both.

If you're thinking of trading, space for general traders is limited, and enquiries go to the Market Hall's North Yorkshire Council email. For everyone else, it's 9:00am to 4:00pm on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 December at Scarborough Market Hall & Vaults and St Helen's Square.
