Yeah, it's this weekend. Will probably have a day trip as there's no accommodation anywhere near at hand. All full up. Went a couple of years ago and agree it's a great event - well organised and a wide spread of stalls and a decent beer festival to boot - unfortunately I'll be driving.
There must be space in one of the hotels in York. It is only 20-30 minutes away from Malton and you can have a wander round a great city too!
