Harrogate Christmas Market

We went to Harrogate Christmas Market.  It is only November, but their market only opens for one weekend.  Unlike other towns and cities, their market is on a patch of green.  It turned out to be very muddy!  It is a fairly small market, but there are more local traders with interesting offerings, such as candle powered steam boats.  They also have main stream offerings like reindeer.

There were coaches full of people coming in and out of the market!

We were going to have a lunch at a pub, but it was very busy, and we ended up in the Truffles Cafe.  Their service was friendly and food was very nice.  I had a vanilla slice.  Sarah is convinced the vanilla is made off-site.

We had a walk around the park then settled at the Palm Court Cafe.  It was also packed.  I had no room for cake, so I opted for a hot chocolate.  Sarah has a Chocolate Orange, and Tony had a Mocha Blonde.  They were quite good.  I am looking forward to their cakes.
