- A collective of West Yorkshire-based food retailers and producers have come together to launch a Fine Food and Local Produce Market, which will take place on the first Sunday of every month until December
Real Food Ilkley, the organisers of the event, have selected each producer and vendor to demonstrate the wealth of talent in the area and to promote traditional food production methods. Over half of the vendors are from within the Ilkley district.
As well as produce being available to purchase, the open-air market will also offer ‘foodie’ demonstrations and live entertainment from local performers.
In accordance with Real Food Ilkley’s focus on the local community, two stalls at each market will be allocated to local community groups and health improvement organisations.
Paula Connor from Real Food Ilkley said, “This market is for producers, residents, tourists and the whole community. We are so pleased to be finally launching it on 6 March - it promises to be an amazing day and a great hub for Ilkley. We have had so much interest, and for those who still want to get involved they can apply for stalls for the next markets or volunteer to work with us at the markets on the first Sunday of each month.”
