The Thirsk Yarnbombers have been at it since 2015 when the Tour de Yorkshire cycle race passed through the town. Since then, this doughty group of knitters – some of who no longer live in the town, but in places as far-flung as Australia – have decorated the Market Square with knitted tributes on all kinds of occasions – notably the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
They’ve ‘done’ Remembrance Day more than once; commemorated the new King’s Coronation; celebrated Thirsk’s Local Treasure Alf Wight, aka James Herriot of All Creatures Great and Small fame (you could visit the museum dedicated to him here); celebrated the NHS. And now it’s Christmas. Come for a stroll round the square .
And a Happy Christmas to you all!
