Little Bird artisan markets celebrate 7th anniversary

Wednesday, 22 October 2025 08:14

Regular Little Bird Artisan Markets are held across the area.

Little Bird Artisan Markets is celebrating seven years of supporting small independent traders and bringing artisan products to communities across Yorkshire.

Yesterday (Tuesday) marked 7 years since organiser Jackie Crozier held the first market in Ripon in 2018.

Little Bird has grown into a well-known fixture in towns including Harrogate, Ripon, Easingwold and Knaresborough.

The markets provide a platform for local makers, bakers and artists to showcase their work and connect directly with customers.

Over the years, the markets have become a popular destination for those looking to buy locally made crafts, food, gifts and produce.

Founder Jackie Crozier said:

“In these seven years, I’ve worked with so many brilliant inspirational small businesses, who show how talented and creative they are week in, week out.

“I work with amazing staff and I can’t thank them enough for everything they do for me and for our traders.

“Thank you to every single person who has ever traded at Little Bird, thank you to every single person that has bought at Little Bird and to the wonderful organisations we work with.”

The next Little Bird Artisan Market is scheduled to take place in Ripon on Sunday (26th October).
