Continuing the christmassy market theme.
There is a very good market/festival in a small village in the Yorkshire Dales called Grassington.
There is a fairly extensive market and all the stall holders are in fancy dress (even the people on the burger vans!). Its a great place for taking some shots. But its pretty much a high iso point and hope affair. It is way too busy to use a tripod so everything has to be hand held. There is torch (propper fire torches) lit procession around the village led by Mary on a donkey, which calls at all the inns asking if there is room etc....
The website doesnt tell you much else - http://www.grassington.net/ - but be prepared to spend a bit of money. Its free to get in, but the car park in the village is shut so all cars have to park in a near by quarry and get the shuttle bus. Think it was a couple of pounds last year for the parking with the bus thrown in. Be warned there is a big que for the bus back at the end of the day.
A few photos: (fairly poor, I didnt go planning to take photos so didnt prepare at all)
Torches on sale
Very busy!
Brass band (the ones in red almost visable in the shot)
All dressed up
Window Displays
Backstreets
Festival burger van
Some dude
The torch light procession
Some good people shots
