The very best in Christmas shopping at the largest event of its kind in the region, The Living North Essence of Christmas Fair at York Racecourse, was a huge success. Thank you to all who helped to make our 2012 event happen, we look forward to returning in 2013.

We are proud to support The Crystal Committee as our nominated chairty for 2013. The Crystal Committee was founded in 2006 in order to raise funds for local charitable causes in Yorkshire. To date the Committee have raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for a number of different causes which include Marie Curie Cancer Care, The Teenage Cancer Trust, The PPR Foundation for brain tumour research and Phoenix House Recovery Centre at Catterick Garrison.
