Duke Of York To Host Its First-Ever Open-Air Christmas Market This Weekend

The Duke of York pub is inviting Islanders to its first-ever Open-Air Christmas Market, promising a festive weekend for the whole family.

The Cowes based venue’s outdoor spaces will be transformed from a summer beer garden into a winter-themed market, featuring a range of specially selected local traders from 12pm this Saturday (December 20).

Visitors can expect Santa in his grotto, live music and entertainment, open fires, mulled drinks, hot food, and even a light sprinkling of falling snow to add to the festive atmosphere.

Organisers have also confirmed that proceeds from Santa’s Grotto will be donated to the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance, supporting the lifesaving charity during the festive season.

The Duke of York says the event is designed to bring the community together and celebrate Christmas while supporting local businesses and a local cause.
