Welcome to Beverley Festival of Christmas 2011 Cllr Kay West Chairman of the East Riding of Yorkshire Council At this festive time of year I am delighted to support the Beverley Festival of Christmas and look forward to sampling the magnificent local produce and crafts on offer. It is also a pleasure to see the effort that goes into the event, especially the traditional Victorian costume and street entertainers which make the Festival really stand out from the rest. I would like to thank East Yorkshire Events and the festival committee for delivering such a wonderful occasion, and congratulate them on providing a rarity these days, a ‘free’ fantastic day out for all the family which I am sure is unrivalled anywhere in Yorkshire. The Festival of Christmas always proves a hugely popular event, attracting visitors from all over the UK into our beautifully historic market town of Beverley. It is a great opportunity to showcase the best that the town and the East Riding of Yorkshire have to offer. At this time of year when surrounded by our family, friends and loved ones please spare a thought for those not as fortunate as ourselves. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

I remember the first Festival so well – a huddle of a few stalls, together with a mere handful of entertainments. However it was well attended and it was clear that it had the potential to become a major event in Beverley’s calendar. It is now arguably the biggest one day event of its type in Yorkshire, attracting in excess of forty thousand people. We now have our own web site www.beverleyfestivalofchristmas.co.uk which contains all the latest news and information concerning the festival. We have more stalls and attractions than ever this year together with all the old favourites. Let us hope for good weather and I wish you all a happy Christmas. Best wishes John Bird Festival Chairman Cllr Peter Astell Mayor of Beverley The Festival of Christmas is an excellent chance to sample produce and see crafts made locally as well as an opportunity to enjoy the festive entertainment and atmosphere. Therefore it gives me great pleasure to welcome you, whether you come from near or far, to the Beverley Festival of Christmas and I very much hope you enjoy the festive cheer that Beverley has to offer. With wonderful entertainment, the colourful market stalls offering local Christmas nibbles and ideas for Christmas gifts, not to mention the star of the show Father Christmas with his delightful reindeer, there is something for everybody. We are as ever grateful for the work of the small Committee of volunteers who make this event possible and together with the assistance from EYevents, the East Riding of Yorkshire Council and the Police make this the best Christmas event in the East Riding. I would also like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. Councillor Peter Astell Mayor of Beverley 3 Beverley Minster Christmas Tree Festival EY Events have teamed up with Beverley Minster to introduce the Beverley Minster Christmas Tree Festival for December 2011.

With the introduction of a variety of brand new top class entertainment, including themed Victorian street performers, a stilt walking flower seller, a Victorian musician, an authentic organ grinder and to keep the peace, a traditional Victorian policeman, the whole event continues to develop and improve every year. The festival will be opened at 10am in Wednesday Market, followed by the reindeer parade which heads out towards Saturday Market. Children will then be able to see the Cairngorm reindeer and Father Christmas until 2pm in Saturday Market. This year’s event boasts a number of street entertainers, who will be performing at different points around the town. The times and locations for these can all be found on the site map. The popular traditional Victorian fairground returns once more whilst the amazing falconry and birds of prey display returns after great demand. As usual one of the popular features of the festival is the Victorian market, featuring over 100 quality stalls. Many of these are local producers or crafts, some small manufacturers and some raising money for their charity. There will be stalls throughout the Saturday Market area and Wednesday Market areas of Beverley Town Centre, whilst new for 2011 will be stalls within Cross Street so make sure you pay everywhere a visit to see all the wonderful selection of products available! A park and ride will be operating to and from Beverley Racecourse to the town centre throughout the day from 8.30am with the last bus returning at 4.30pm. This proves great value for money as the cost of this service is only £1 return for all adults, and children ride for free. Once again we are looking forward to an entertaining and enjoyable day, as you can see there really is something for the whole family to enjoy. So come and celebrate Christmas as it should be with us at the Beverley Festival of Christmas 2011. 5 Programme of Entertainment Festival Area Map 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 Map Location St John’s Church
