The Knaresborough Town Criers, Mark Hunter and Andrew Richards (deputy), are appointed on a voluntary basis by The Knaresborough & District Chamber of Trade to promote the wealth of independent businesses and community events in the town. The weekly cry to open the Wednesday Market is shared between the criers who also appear at numerous other scheduled and ad hoc events in the town, throughout the year, notably The Bed Race, FEVA, Bright Friday and The Christmas Market. The Town Criers are always pleased to receive information regarding local events to include in the weekly cry and invitations to appear personally, and do their best to accommodate these requests whenever possible.

There were some spooky characters abroad in the Market Place today, as well as our wonderful Town Mayor! The rain didn't deter our visitors, many of whom took advantage of The Mayor of Knaresborough's Town Walking Tours and Knaresborough Castle is looking good as the town prepares for our Remembrance commemorations.

It was a little overcast this morning but that doesn't stop Knaresborough Markets or visitors coming to our beautiful town. Hearing Dogs for Deaf People were busy selling jigsaws and the The Mayor of Knaresborough's Town Walking Tours had a good crowd on their morning tour. We also had visitors from as far away as San Francisco.

🔔 Oyez! Oyez! Oyez!

Entries are now open for the Great Knaresborough St John's Christmas Tree Festival 2026, which will run from Saturday 5th to Sunday 20th December. There is a maximum limit of 90 trees and places will be allocated strictly on a first‑come, first‑served basis. Once the 90 spaces are taken, entries will close and any further submissions will be placed on a reserve list.

There is never a definitive theme for the festival, so entrants are free to choose their own theme and, as always, use their imagination, creativity and ingenuity so that there is a wide variety of decorations, sizes (maximum 6ft), and shapes.

If you'd like to take part, please email [email protected] for full details and an entry form, then complete and return it as soon as possible. Remember, places are limited, so don't delay!

Mark and Andrea were delighted to join Jamie Thurlow and his dad, Dale, for the last lap in Jamie's 500 mile challenge, this evening, which has raised over £3000 for St John Ambulance. A big thank you to everyone who has donated and to all those who turned out to celebrate this outstanding achievement by a remarkable young man.
