Real Markets' popular monthly market is returning to Ripley Castle this weekend.
Packed full of local and speciality producers, bakers and makers, the free-to-attend market is back on Sunday (23rd February).
Positioned in the stunning Ripley Castle Courtyard, it offers visitors free access to the grounds and gardens on market day too.
The grounds of Ripley Castle will play host to over 40 talented traders showcasing Yorkshire talent and produce.
Visitors can expect stalls ranging from artists and jewellers to cheesemongers, bakers and candle makers.
There will also be hot food and drink, plus each market supports a local community initiative or charity.
February’s charity guests are Harrogate Cat Rescue.

Despite Ripley Castle Estate being for sale, the Ingilby family who own the Estate, are continuing to welcome and support the monthly market.
Sara Ingilby said:
“We are so pleased to be able to welcome Real Markets back to Ripley Castle - not just because we love having all the delicious produce (and treats!) on our doorstep, but these markets really bring Ripley to life and it’s wonderful to see the historic courtyard full of artisans and talented producers.
“As always, on these market days the Castle’s Gardens and Grounds will be free to enter, and don’t forget that dogs are welcome too.”
The team at Real Markets run monthly and special event markets in various locations in Yorkshire including Ilkley, Saltaire, Grassington, Harrogate and Otley.
Lucy Allen from Real Markets said:
“We feel so lucky that we get to host a monthly market at such a magnificent venue.
“Our traders have been keen to return this year as the market has built up an incredibly loyal following.
“This event not only benefits the local community but helps independent producers and makers continue to thrive.
“We can’t wait to be back at Ripley Castle!”
