Most famous for the market, which takes place 4 days a week, we also have a vast array of unique, individual, independent shops selling locally made gifts, food, art and more. Not only will you find great shops on the High Street but they are hidden down the ginnels and side streets so to have a truly unique shopping experience make sure you venture off the main streets to see what Skipton really has to offer. - [Food & Drink in Skipton](https://www.welcometoskipton.com/business-category/food-and-drink/) - Skipton is teeming with places to eat, drink and be merry. We’ve got artisan coffee shops, craft beer bars, restaurants for every budget and shops selling goodies for picnics or to take home for tea (that’s dinner to you non-Yorkshire people!) to cook later. Being on the edge of The Yorkshire Dales, there is a strong connection with local produce too. Most places serve food grown, reared or made within a short distance of the town centre, and local provenance is hugely important. It helps to bring a unique flavour to everything in and around our town. - [Restaurants](https://www.welcometoskipton.com/business-category/restaurants/) - [Bars & Pubs](https://www.welcometoskipton.com/business-category/bars-pubs/) - [Cafes](https://www.welcometoskipton.com/business-category/cafes/) - [Stay A While](https://www.welcometoskipton.com/business-category/stay-a-while/) - If you’re looking for a place to lay your head then look no further, we have everything in Skipton. From luxury to basic and quirky to traditional, our town has somewhere for every taste and every pocket. Choose from Hotels, Bed and Breakfasts, Guest Houses and Self-Catering. Treat yourself to a real experience and bunk down on a traditional canal boat or in a Shepherds Hut!
