An outdoor artisan market is coming to Acomb, York – which aims to encourage people to shop small and local.
Little Bird Made are bringing their artisan market to Acomb, for a three month trial.
The Ripon-based company help support small local companies to showcase their handmade products – and visitors to the market can expect everything from skincare, clothing, jewellery, home décor, fragrance, art, photography, crafts, kids toys, pet treats, and more.
The first market will take place on Front Street, Acomb on Saturday 16 March, from 10am to 3pm.
The next markets will then take place on Saturday 20 April and Saturday 18 May.
There will be 27 Little Bird traders in attendance.
Jackie Crozier, managing director for Little Bird Made, said: “I’m delighted to be working with local councillors, the council’s Acomb Front Street Regeneration project and Make It York to bring the Acomb market back to the area on a trial basis.
“My parents met in York, were married in York and I have family in Acomb so am delighted to bring Little Bird to the area.
“We pride ourselves in providing high quality shopping experiences and remaining true to our ethos of supporting small businesses and promoting local areas that we trade in.”
Acomb is the latest location for Little Bird Made markets, as they operate markets throughout the Yorkshire area in places like Richmond, Harrogate, Easingwold, Thirsk, Wetherby, and more.
Cllr Emily Nelson, who represents Westfield Ward, said, “We’re really delighted to work with Little Bird in bringing this special market to the residents of York, and to those of Westfield, Acomb and Holgate especially.
“As local councillors we’re keen to see market traders and local businesses driving greater footfall in Front Street, something that will benefit all businesses operating there. We encourage people to visit the market and support this trial and importantly, to shop local.”
