Malton Artisan Market to Celebrate Local Creativity on 27 June 2026

With summer now in full swing, the vibrant town of Malton is set to host its monthly Artisan Market on Saturday, 27 June 2026. Organised by Little Bird Made, this popular event encourages locals and visitors alike to support small businesses and enjoy the sunshine in a lively market atmosphere. Starting at 10am, the outdoor market will showcase a variety of independent traders, local makers, and creators from across Yorkshire.

Supporting Local Businesses

One of the key messages behind the Artisan Market is the importance of supporting small, family-run businesses. Jackie Crozier, the Managing Director of Little Bird Made, emphasises this point, stating, “When you buy from an artisan market, you aren’t just getting something unique; you are directly putting money back into a small family-run business, an independent creator, and the backbone of the high street.” This means that every purchase made at the market helps to strengthen the local economy and keeps the community thriving.
