The York Krampus Run route began at the Black Swan on Peasholme Green, the procession made its way through the city, stopping at Villains Rum, Valhalla and Minster Yard.
Participants wore elaborate, hand-crafted costumes featuring animal furs, carved wooden masks and menacing horns, bringing the fearsome mythical creature, traditionally associated with Christmas folklore, to life.
