After 'fantastic buzz' of it's successful debut Malton Artisan Market set to return this weekend

The first Malton Artisan Market took place on February 21 with much success.

The event saw a curated selection of independent makers, bakers, and creators. From handcrafted jewellery to artisanal cheeses and stunningly handcrafted woodwork and garden accessories, the market showcased the very best of regional craftsmanship.

The event is going to be a monthly market, with the next official date taking place on March 21.

Jackie Crozier, Managing Director of Little Bird Made, said: ‘’We are absolutely thrilled with the turnout for our first ever artisan market right in the heart of Malton. “The energy in Malton was incredible. Our goal was to create a space that celebrates Yorkshire talent, and seeing the community come out in force to support the small independent artisans exceeded all our expectations.

“We couldn’t be more proud of our debut artisan market and look forward to returning each month.’’

Dan Leaver, owner of Dan’s Pies said: ‘”It felt so good to be back in Malton after a five month break since we last traded here. It was great to see so many familiar faces, as well as a lot of new customers who had heard of my pies, but hadn’t had the chance to purchase.

“Little Bird put on an excellent event, with a wide variety of traders and a fantastic buzz in the air all day. I’m looking forward to returning and trading once again in the food capital of Yorkshire!’’

Local shoppers noted the high quality of goods and the welcoming atmosphere, cementing the market as a new staple in the local calendar.

Jane Williams, a visitor to the market said: “I really enjoyed the market; there was such a great mix of stalls. We are already looking forward to the next one in March!”

Building on the weekend’s success, the Malton Artisan Market is already looking forward to the future with monthly markets now planned.. The next event on Saturday, March 21 promises even more variety and community engagement.
