The organisers of York Christmas Market have said that they're reviewing the event before its return next year.

Running from November 14 until December 22 - the event formerly known as St Nicholas Fair saw more than 75 stalls line Parliament Street and Coppergate.

One day of weather induced closure from Storm Darragh, on December 7, didn't dampen spirits as punters came in their tens of thousands throughout the event.

But this years market hasn't been without criticism, with The Press reporting on concerns raised about the size of the crowds flocking to York.

Sarah Loftus, Managing Director of Make It York, said: "We are currently reviewing and will be analysing the findings from this year’s York Christmas Market evaluation.

"In the early new year, we will meet with the City of York Council, our partners and stakeholders to discuss plans for the York Christmas Market 2025.

"Make It York will be able to communicate plans once they are finalised."

City of York Council has previously announced its commitment to ensuring further Blue Badge access for next years Market, with 2024 seeing badge holders only not being allowed into the city centre between the hours of 10.30am to 5pm each day.
