Start small. Start scared. Just start.

Well, the rain has certainly had a lot to say this week! Sadly, due to the Castle Grounds at Knaresborough being completely waterlogged, we’ve had to make the very difficult decision to cancel Saturday’s market. It’s hugely disappointing — especially as it was due to be our first Knaresborough market back this year — and we know many of you will be just as gutted as we are.

That said, safety always comes first, and sometimes Mother Nature has other plans.

The good news? We’re back this Sunday in Harrogate’s Valley Gardens, and we honestly can’t wait to see you all there. Fresh air, beautiful surroundings, and a brilliant line-up of traders — it’ll be so good to be back doing what we love.

This time of year always feels special to me. It’s the season of new beginnings. The moment when ideas turn into action. When you finally say, “I’m going to give this a go.”

If you’ve been sitting on a dream — a start-up idea, a creative project, a small business — this is your sign. Go for it. Start small. Start scared. Just start.

At Little Bird Made, we proudly welcome and support new traders. We’ve all been there, and there is nothing better than seeing someone take that first brave step.

Thank you, as always, for your understanding and your support. Let’s hope for brighter skies ahead — and we’ll see you Sunday 🌿✨
