The newly-refurbished Silsden Town Hall will open for the town’s Christmas market on November 24.

Villagers will be able to see the £300,000 of improvements while browsing market stalls in the main hall.

The hall will then close again for a couple of weeks as finishing touches are put to the building.

The Christmas market will run from 10am to 4pm in the hall and at other locations including Briggate and the Punchbowl pub car park.

The town hall, in Kirkgate, will also host Santa’s grotto and refreshments, while Drystone Radio will broadcast seasonal tunes from the market.

The market will end with the switching on of the Christmas tree lights in Silsden’s memorial garden.

Anyone wishing to hire a stall or table space at the market should contact Lynda on 07778 576440 or Chris on 01535 655057.
