“We know how popular the big cities can be, so we wanted to do something to shine a light on the fantastic markets in the smaller towns we serve.

"We hope these great ticket prices will leave our customers with a little extra money to spend, as well as avoiding all the stress of sitting in traffic and searching for a parking space."

The £2 tickets are available to customers travelling to markets including:

Scarborough Sparkle – November 28 to November 30
