Artisan market set to return to Masham
Masham Parish Council has approved the plans after more traders asked for the market to be reinstated. It is likely to open every second Sunday from April to September next year.
Masham's artisan market is set to make a comeback.
The town's parish council this week approved plans to bring it back after locals called for a return. The last farmer's market was August 2019.
The market is expected to take place on the second Sunday of each month from April to September next year.
Councillors will now listen to the proposals of local traders before giving the official go ahead.
It will have stalls selling farmers' produce as well as other items. Masham already has Wednesday and Saturday markets.
"Yes, we have passed it for next year in the summer season. It'll mainly be the traders who will organise it, they think they can find a few traders in farm produce and artisan items so it sounds good.
"Our Saturday market is always popular. This weekend we have about 20 stalls so hopefully the new one will be a success too."
