YorkBID has yet to release its figures for the whole holiday period but the city’s annual St Nicholas Market proved a major draw boosting visitor numbers.
York BID records that the first five weeks the event, which began in November, saw footfall at its highest in four years, up 36.9 per cent up on last year and up 18.9 per cent on pre-Covid times.
This follows months of visitor numbers being above 2022 levels but still below the pre-pandemic era.
