A Harrogate church in the Duchy area is set to welcome a monthly artisan market from summer until December.

The Little Bird Artisan Market will sell locally produced arts and crafts, ceramics, jewellery, clothing, flowers, food and drink.

St Wilfrid's Church on Duchy Road will host the first outdoor market on Saturday, June 19 between 10am and 3pm.

The outdoor market will then be at the church every month until December 18.

Organisers hope lockdown easing measures permit the market to go ahead as planned.

The team has already launched artisan markets in Boroughbridge, Ripon, Pateley Bridge, Wetherby and Easingwold.



Jackie Crozier, from Little Bird Artisan Market, 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’ll be showcasing their fantastic local produce.
"It has been a difficult year for small businesses and so to start a new market and get people out shopping again benefits everyone.
"We hope that visitors to the market will also wander into Harrogate and enjoy a day out. I really hope the community will get behind this and come and meet the makers."


Each month the market will also offer a free space for local charities and community groups. Interested parties should send an email here.

The market will be at St Wilfrid's Church on June 19, July 17, August 14, September 18, October 16, November 20 and December 18.
