The market will take place at Crescent Gardens.

A new monthly food market will take place in Harrogate on Sunday after organisers were forced to cancel last month’s event due to Storm Eunice.

Real Food Markets, a community interest company that has organised a food market in Ilkley for six years, is hosting food and drink and craft stalls on the third Sunday of every month.

The free-to-attend market will be based at Crescent Gardens, opposite the old Harrogate Borough Council offices, and will run from 10am to 3pm.

Lucy Allen, director of Real Food Markets, said:

“We’re thrilled to be bringing Real Food Markets to Harrogate.

“The weather is always unreliable at this time of year, but we’re hoping for a good day on March 20 for all our stallholders and customers.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming people to Real Food Harrogate and showcasing all the amazing local produce and products from the our fabulous stallholders.”

Tomorrow’s market will feature stalls offering cheeses, sushi, sticky toffee puddings, scotch eggs and gluten-free products. There will also be stalls selling products including goat milk soaps, candles, fine art and blankets.

Ms Allen said:

“Visitors to Real Food Ilkley will recognise some of our wonderful stallholders, however we are also introducing some new traders for Harrogate.  Although we’re keeping it mainly food and drink, there are a handful of makers as well as the bakers.”

Organisers are still on the lookout for local community groups and charities who would benefit from a free stall space at Real Food Harrogate. Groups must have access to their own gazebo and weights.
