These car parks are conveniently located near many shops and the York Christmas market on Parliament Street. Then, you will be right in the centre of the city so can spend more time buying those all important presents!<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, if you are arriving by train, the city centre and Christmas markets are around a 10 minute walk from York train station.                            <\/div>\n                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\n                \n                \n            <\/div>\n\n            [vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;]\t<div id=\"thb-image-6a9572248bd59\" class=\"caption-style1  aligncenter   thb_image_link wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"thb-image-inner size_100\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"thb_image   attachment-full thb-lazyload lazyload\" alt=\"snowman baubles at the christmas market\" title=\"Snowman,Toy,Decoration,On,Christmas,Market\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_540663271.jpg\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_540663271.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_540663271-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_540663271-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_540663271-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_540663271-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_540663271-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_540663271-185x123.jpg 185w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_540663271-740x494.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_540663271-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_540663271-72x48.jpg 72w\" \/>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We hope you have found our guide to York Christmas market useful and have a great time if you visit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t forget to check out our other Christmas blogs.
