Following a successful debut event in autumn last year, the Flemingate Makers Market is set to return this Sunday, launching a full calendar of markets for the year ahead. The first event of the new programme will take place on Sunday 22nd March, from 10am to 4pm at Flemingate Shopping Centre in Beverley.
The market is delivered by Flemingate, in partnership with Little Hummingbird Events, the experienced events company behind the successful relaunch of the Humber Bridge Monthly Market. The partnership combines Flemingate Shopping Centre’s easily accessible location with Little Hummingbird Events’
proven expertise in curating popular, well-attended makers markets.
Visitors to this Sunday’s event can expect a mix of local makers, creatives, food and drink producers, and independent businesses for a day celebrating shopping, creativity and community.
Phoenix Squad will also be attending on the day between 11am-4pm. The Yorkshire-based, Star Wars Troopers will be posing for photos, interact with the public, and raise money for Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice. There will also be buskers entertaining shoppers.
The organisers have confirmed a full year of dates, making the Flemingate Sunday Makers Market a regular fixture in the local events calendar. Further markets are scheduled to take place on 17th May, 16th August, 18th October, 22nd November and 13th December, all running from 10am to 4pm. While the line-up of traders will vary across the year, each event will maintain a consistent focus on quality, creativity, and supporting small independent businesses.
Jo Bridgeman, Flemingate Marketing and Event Manager said:
“The response to our autumn market last year showed us just how much people value opportunities to shop local and meet the makers behind the products. We’re really pleased to be building on that success by launching a full year of Flemingate Makers Market dates, in partnership with Little Hummingbird Events. Starting with March, we’re excited to see this market grow into a regular event for the community.”
The Flemingate Makers Market is free to attend and open to all, offering residents and visitors alike a chance to support independent businesses while enjoying everything Flemingate has to offer.
