A lovely sunny day visiting one of my favourite towns. A large impressive parish church, a minster, many dozens of market stalls, live street music everywhere, the smell of food everywhere as well...but too many people - I found it quite claustrophobic and threatening at times.
Our visit got off to a good start with free parking for the day.
After having a quick look at some of the stalls which were already trading we went into Wetherspoon's pub for breakfast - it was already quite busy.
St. Mary's Church was holding a craft fair; it was busy inside which restricted my angles and positions but I still got a few decent photographs of the interior.
There were a lot of people wearing steampunk costumes in Beverley today...and a St. Bernard's dog group was collecting money for charity.
It cost £3 to go inside the minster to look at the Christmas Tree Festival, and there was a long queue to get in...so we didn't bother.
The crowds were too much for us by one o'clock and so we headed back to the car park; I'd already spent quite a bit of money though on a mixed game pie from the market, a couple of nice jumpers and an almost new pair of hiking boots from the charity shops...and a large fat rascal from a bakery.
We called back at the farm shop cafe at Drewton at the foot of The Wolds for tea and cake - I managed to grab a photograph of the farm cat as it ran away from me.
