Little Bird Artisan Markets is launching its first market in Harrogate next weekend.
The company already has several well-established monthly markets in Yorkshire, including Boroughbridge, Ripon and Pateley Bridge.
Founder Jackie Crozier, who grew up in Ripon, said her aim was to help local businesses to sell their goods and meet customers in person.
Many small firms have flourished during the pandemic by selling products online.
The Harrogate artisan market will open from 10am until 3pm on Saturday June 19 at St Wilfrid’s Church and will return every month.
More than 50 stallholders will be selling items such as homeware, food and plants.
Jackie Crozier said:
“This will be my first artisan market in Harrogate, and I’m really looking forward to welcoming an exciting range of different local stallholders, who will be showcasing the fantastic local produce.
“I hope the community will get behind the event and come along and meet the makers.”
Her first market opened in Ripon in 2018.
