A number of artisan markets are set to be held across the Harrogate area during the May Bank Holiday weekend.
Residents and visitors are set to mark the weekend with a series of markets celebrating local craftsmanship, food, and community across two well-known locations.
The three-day event will begin on Saturday 2nd May at the historic grounds of Knaresborough Castle, before moving to Harrogate Valley Gardens for Sunday 3rd and Monday 4th May.
Organisers say the markets aim to highlight independent traders and provide a relaxed outdoor experience for families and visitors.
Jackie Crozier, Managing Director of Little Bird Made said:
“There is something uniquely special about our Bank Holiday market.
“Between the panoramic views at the Castle and the floral beauty of Valley Gardens, we’re providing a space where people can slow down, support local creators, and truly enjoy the long weekend.”
A range of local vendors is expected to take part, offering products including organic skincare, clothing for children and adults, handcrafted jewellery, baked goods and small-batch spirits.
Street food stalls will also be present, giving attendees the option to dine on-site.
Local businesses are also preparing for increased footfall during the holiday period.
Suzanne Lythgow, owner of Happy Hot Dog Natural Treats said:
“Bank Holiday Weekends bring a special energy to our hometown of Harrogate, and we’re thrilled to be part of it with Little Bird Made’s artisan markets.
"As a small local business, it’s a lovely reminder of why we do what we do - community, connection, and plenty of happy wags and woofs.”
Organisers describe the markets as family-friendly, with open green spaces suitable for picnics, and dogs welcome to attend.
Visitors are encouraged to make a day of it, with food vendors offering lunch options and space available to relax outdoors.
The events will run from 10am to 3pm each day.
