Harrogate BID has revealed details of a new market in Harrogate called ‘Maker’s Market’.
The market will offer local independent traders the chance to showcase their products to a wider audience in a prime town centre location.
It will be set to be held on the third Sunday of every month between June and September this year, and will take over Cambridge Street with a series of unique stalls.
The new market, which will run between 10 am and 4 pm on the day, will offer a space to several different local makers, from crafters and jewellers to homemakers and clothing designers, to showcase their offerings to an increased number of potential customers.
Following on from the success of the pets-themed market during the Harrogate Dog Show this year, the Business Improvement District (BID) is looking forward to fully funding and delivering this new initiative.
Bethany Allen, Operations and Projects Executive at Harrogate BID, said:
“The pets-themed market we organised during the Harrogate Dog Show was a huge success, so we’re delighted to be able to bring this new idea to life off the back of it!
“A series of independent traders will host stalls to show off their range of products and services – and we can’t wait to work alongside them.
“We’re always keen to drive both footfall and spend into our town’s business community, so we feel this project will help to do so on what is typically known as a quieter day of the week in our town centre.
“For now, the markets will be in place on the third Sunday of every month from June to September – but we’re hoping to expand and build on this in the future.”
The BID team will be working alongside Real Markets Yorkshire to deliver this new opportunity.
Real Markets is the operator behind the monthly Harrogate Farmers Market which has been held on Cambridge Street, on the second Thursday of the month for the last 20 years.
Lucy Allen, of Real Markets Yorkshire, said:
“Harrogate Makers Market is a great opportunity for our local independent makers and creators to have a presence in central Harrogate.
“Over the last 20 years our Harrogate Farmers Market has supported a huge amount of independents during the week – and Harrogate Makers Market is a wonderful addition to this offering by bringing together a unique collection of stallholders for Sunday shoppers too.”
