THE third Craft in the Pen event takes place at Craven Auction Mart in Skipton on Saturday and Sunday.

More than 230 exhibitors will be offering a wide range of products to visitors looking for Christmas gifts.

Other attractions include Santa's Grotto and reindeers for the children, along with a word search competition which offers them a chance to win a games console.

And for the adults, the Starlight Cafe will be open for people to get warmed up in, and there will be a pop up shop by The Arts Shop, Skipton.

Andrew Lynan, Creative Director for Crafts in the Pen said: "This year we are joined by over 230 talented exhibitors, who have been hard at work to ensure you find something special to take home, or wrap up as a special Christmas gift.

"Crafts in the Pen just keeps getting bigger and better so be sure to take a stroll down all five streets during your visit."

Children in any party will be given a postcard on arrival and be tasked with the mission of finding the hidden letters dotted around. Once they have them all, they can write the word on the postcard and hand it in at the grotto, with the winner receiving a Nintendo Switch console and a copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Handing in the post card to one of the elves allows children a free visit to Santa’s Grotto, and they will also be able to say hello to his reindeers Donner and Vixen.

Entry is £5 with under 16s free, and it takes place between 10am to 4pm each day.
