A one-day Victorian Christmas fayre in the Wharfedale market town of Otley, with street stalls, a Victorian parade and a traditional steam train.

Otley's Victorian Fayre turns the market town's centre into a Victorian Christmas scene for one Sunday in early December. Market stalls fill the streets selling Christmas gifts and festive food, with music drifting through the town.

Highlights include a Victorian parade and a traditional steam train, plus school choirs, stilt walkers, jugglers, other street entertainers and fairground attractions. The event began as an idea of the Otley Chamber of Trade to support the town's shops and is now run by volunteers; 2025 was the 38th fayre.
