Harrogate and Knaresborough artisan markets cancelled this weekend
Forecasted strong winds and rain have prompted the organisers of artisan markets in Harrogate and Knaresborough to cancel this weekend's events.
Little Bird Artisan Markets was due to stage its monthly Knaresborough market on Saturday.
The organisers were also planning to hold their first regular monthly market in Harrogate's Valley Gardens on Sunday after a successful Christmas market trial at the same location in December.
Both markets were fully booked by stallholders.
Winds are predicted to reach up to 44mph in the afternoon on both Saturday and Sunday. Storm Malik brought similarly strong winds seven days ago.

Organisers say they had little choice but to cancel due to concerns over the safety of stallholders and visitors.
Jackie Crozier, managing director of Little Bird Markets, said:
Little Bird Markets will be back in Knaresborough on March 5 and Harrogate Valley Gardens on March 6.
