The event is organised by fine artist jeweller Joanne Gowan, who is based in Pateley Bridge, and Sarah Leighton of Quo Vadis Jewellery in Birmingham.

Susan Rumfitt, Antiques Roadshow jewellery expert will open the event on the Sunday and give a talk.

Organiser Joanne Gowan said:
I am very excited to be hosting this event for the second year in Harrogate, especially as I am now based just up the road in Pateley Bridge. It gives Yorkshire people a great opportunity to buy from the best of artisan jewellers and silversmiths from all over the UK, without having to travel too far.
