Ripon Artisan Market returns this weekend – food, crafts and independent traders set for city centre boost

The popular Little Bird Made Artisan Market returns to Ripon this weekend, bringing a vibrant mix of artisan food, handmade crafts and independent traders to the heart of the city.

Taking place in Ripon’s historic marketplace on Sunday, April 26 from 10am, the event is expected to attract strong footfall, making it one of the top things to do in Ripon this weekend. Visitors can explore a curated selection of Yorkshire-based makers offering everything from street food and baked goods to unique gifts, homeware and locally produced items.

The market arrives one year after the iconic Big Sky Wheel transformed the skyline and drew thousands of visitors into the city centre. While the 35-metre observation wheel is no longer in place, its legacy continues, with events like this helping to boost local tourism and support independent businesses.

Organisers say the market celebrates the best of Yorkshire’s creative talent, giving shoppers access to high-quality, locally made products not found on the high street. It also provides a valuable platform for small producers and craftspeople to connect with new customers.

Free to attend, family-friendly and dog-friendly, the event offers a perfect weekend day out in North Yorkshire. With a lively atmosphere and strong community feel, it’s set to be one of the standout Ripon events this April.
