What a way to start the year for Little Bird Made. This week sees the first markets of the year taking place in Knaresborough and Harrogate and also celebrating the amazing news that Little Bird is a Finalist in two categories in The Stray Ferret Business Awards.

There was a wealth of amazing entries which reflects the strength and talent in the business community in sectors ranging from hospitality, retail, business, to the young stars of the future throughout the area. Little Bird Made has been recognised as a finalist in Business of the Year and Managing Director Jackie Crozier in Dynamic Leader categories. This is a testament to the growth and hard work that Jackie and team have put in over the past few years to grow Little Bird from its first market in Ripon, just over 5years ago, to the successful business it is now. In 2023 they held 108 markets in 15 different locations across the Yorkshire area, including development of 8 monthly markets. They also have big plan for 2024 starting with holding weekly markets to not one, but two large events in partnership with Harewood House, with lots more to come.

This weekend traders and staff are looking forward to bringing the markets back to the communities they love. Knaresborough and Harrogate are 2 of the bigger markets with lots of products for everyone. Including our tasty street food vendors to keep everyone supplied with hot drinks and snacks throughout the day. All markets are a great day out for all the family and as outdoors are all dog friendly. Most markets even have pet stalls to treat your furry friends.
