Skipton, 12/05/2025

Skip the Monday blues and Skip-ton your way to an unforgettable day! Join us for a delightful day trip to the "Gateway to the Dales", where the legendary market, a bargain hunters paradise, is in full swing, and the town is buzzing with a good old-fashioned Yorkshire welcome!

Expect delightful stalls brimming with local crafts, fresh produce and quirky gifts. Whether you’re after a homemade pie, a cozy knit, or something totally unexpected, this market has it all - and probably at a price that’ll make you smile. Once you’ve bagged your bargains, why not take a stroll to Skipton Castle, one of the best preserved medieval castles in England. Then, why not treat yourself to a proper Yorkshire lunch. Whether it’s a hearty pub meal, a café full of homemade cakes, or a tearoom where the scones are bigger than your head, Skipton’s got plenty of tasty options to keep you well fuelled. If you fancy a post-lunch wander, take a scenic stroll along the Leeds - Liverpool Canal, or pop into one of Skipton’s many independent shops for even more treasures. From boutiques to bookshops, this town is a retail therapy dream. After a fabulous day of market mayhem, castle capers, and café crawling, hop back on the coach, sit back, and enjoy a leisurely ride home. Bags full, bellies bursting and a day well spent!
