FROM CASTLE VIEWS TO VALLEY BLOOMS: LITTLE BIRD MADE CELEBRATES LOCAL MAKERS THIS MAY BANK HOLIDAY

This May Bank Holiday weekend, local residents and visitors are invited to spend the

weekend enjoying the outdoors in North Yorkshire as two of the region’s most iconic settings

host a three day celebration of craft, community, and the Great British Spring.

This Bank Holiday weekend kicks off with a visit to the historic grounds of Knaresborough

Castle on Saturday, 2 May, followed by two fantastic days at Harrogate Valley Gardens on

Sunday, 3 and Monday 4 May.

With the Spring sunshine forecasted to make an appearance, the markets offer the perfect

backdrop for a long weekend. Independent artisan traders will be showcasing curated goods

ranging from organic skincare, children’s and adult clothing, handcrafted jewellery to artisan

bakes and local small batch spirits.

“There is something uniquely special about our Bank Holiday market,” says Jackie Crozier,

Managing Director of Little Bird Made. “Between the panoramic views at the Castle and the

floral beauty of Valley Gardens, we’re providing a space where people can slow down,

support local creators, and truly enjoy the long weekend.”

Suzanne Lythgow, owner of Happy Hot Dog Natural Treats said, “ Bank Holiday Weekends

bring a special energy to our hometown of Harrogate, and we’re thrilled to be part of it with

Little Bird Made’s artisan markets. As a small local business, it’s a lovely reminder of why we

do what we do - community, connection, and plenty of happy wags and woofs.”

The artisan markets are a perfect family day out, including the dogs. Why not grab lunch

from one of the amazing street food vendors, find a perfect grassy spot and enjoy a picnic

with all the family.
