Little Bird markets back in Harrogate and Knaresborough this weekend

Little Bird markets will be in Harrogate and Knaresborough this weekend.

Little Bird Made's popular artisan markets are back in Harrogate and Knaresborough this weekend.

The market will be open from 10am to 3pm on Saturday 5th October at Knaresborough Castle and Valley Gardens in Harrogate on Sunday 6th October, offering a range of carefully selected artisans and their crafted products and street food vendors.

Little Birds Markets offers handcrafted jewellery, art, candles, skincare and homeware as well as locally produced alcohol, cheese, bread and cakes.

Managing Director Jackie Crozier set up Little Bird in 2018 with the idea to showcase local talents and artisans and "create a community" through the regular artisan markets.

She said:

‘’We provide opportunities not only for our customers to meet the faces behind the products and the small businesses we showcase at our events, but for the traders to meet and talk to the people who want to buy what they make, create and sell at our artisan markets.

"It’s shopping how it used to be, where a face can be put to the brand”.

Rebecca Turnbull, owner of Kester Studio who is trading in Harrogate on Sunday, said,

‘’I am so excited to be back at Valley Gardens in Harrogate this weekend.

"I absolutely love being a part of this wonderful Artisan Market and the support that the community shows the small independent traders is always lovely to see, and to be a part of”.

She added:

‘’One of my favourite parts of in person events is speaking to the lovely people from all walks of life that attend them and hearing all the lovely stories about which flowers are special to them and why.

"It’s always a pleasure to trade with Little Bird, organised and curated to perfection with smiles and laughter along the way – even during a difficult set up!”.
