Handmade treasures are set to fill the streets of a North Yorkshire town as an artisan market makes its return.
The Ripon Artisan Market, run by Little Bird Made, will transform the city centre on Sunday (March 22) from 10am into a lively hub of independent traders and makers from across Yorkshire.
Stalls will offer a variety of goods, from botanical skincare and handcrafted homeware to gourmet pet treats, fudge, cakes, and savoury bakes.
Jackie Crozier, managing director of Little Bird Made, said: "We absolutely love returning to Ripon each month, it is our home base and where the Little Bird journey began in 2018.
"The support from our local communities, as well as tourists to the region, is always incredible.
"This support allows our amazing artisan traders to continue pursuing their dreams. So why not come down from 10am, support local Yorkshire businesses, and enjoy a beautiful day out in the City of Ripon. We can’t wait to welcome you all."
Cathy Barnes, owner of Hollingate Crafts, is among those taking part.
She said: "We’re really excited to be trading in the city of Ripon again. Little Bird markets are a wonderful way to connect with people who appreciate handmade pieces. It’s always special to be part of events that celebrate independent makers in such a beautiful and historic setting."
