Pontefract set to serve up global delights as Continental Street Market makes a return
Thursday, October 30, 2025
Pontefract’s town centre will come alive once again with international cuisine as the popular Continental Street Market returns to Beastfair.
The market will take place from 5 to 8 November and will be open daily from 10am to 6pm.
"We’re thrilled to welcome the Continental Street Market back to Pontefract following its previous success. Events like this not only bring a taste of the world to our doorstep but also help boost footfall and support our local economy. Attracting more shoppers into our towns and city supports existing businesses as more people come along and discover what’s on offer."
