Friday 4th September 2026 - Day Trip to Skipton Market
Skipton Market is a unique outdoor market.
It’s history dates to medieval times, when a royal charter granted consent to The Lord of the Honour of Skipton Castle to hold a fair on Skipton High Street. The Market Authority, under the provisions of the Food Act 1984, is Skipton Town Council who administer the Market on behalf of Skipton Castle, the owners of the Market Charter.
This royal charter consent still holds true today and the Market is open every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday throughout the year, with occasional market days added particularly on the approach to Christmas.
Our Market stalls and pitches are located on the cobbled area, known as setts between the main road and the footpaths. Skipton Market is an integral part of the town centre shopping experience, operating directly alongside the main High Street shops.
Your ticket includes return coach travel and a full onboard entertainment service, this is no ordinary coach trip! All ages welcome.
