This Saturday, 30 May 2026, the stunning backdrop of the North York Moors will play host to a brand new pop up artisan market at the Sutton Bank National Park Centre. Curated by event organiser Little Bird Made, the market will bring together an exclusive selection of the region’s finest independent makers, creators and producers from 10am.
Visitors can expect a vibrant showcase of curated artisan traders, offering everything from hand-crafted jewellery, crafts, original art and photography, unique home decor and local delicacies. The event marks an exciting new partnership, blending high-quality local shopping with one of Yorkshire’s most iconic scenic destinations.
Nestled near the famous White Horse of Kilburn, the market offers a complete day out for families, walkers, and shoppers alike. In addition to browsing the stalls, visitors can take advantage of the beautiful early summer weather forecast by exploring the national park’s legendary walking trails and dedicated family cycle routes.
The Sutton Bank National Park Centre will also have its gorgeous on-site cafe and fully stocked gift shop open throughout the day, providing the perfect spots to relax and refuel after a walk or a shopping spree.
Jackie Crozier, Managing Director of Little Bird Made:
We are thrilled to bring our curated market experience to such an iconic Yorkshire location.
Sutton Bank offers some of the most spectacular views in England. Combining that natural beauty with the incredible talent of our artisan traders creates a truly unforgettable day out for the whole family.
Chris Pye, Manager of Sutton Bank National Park Centre said:
We are delighted to be the latest venue for Little Bird Artisan Markets! Their passion and reputation for quality, variety, and showcasing local artisans is clear to see, and we can’t wait to see everyone here on Saturday 30 May.
Coupled with being a stone’s throw away from the ‘Finest View in England’, this has to be a winning combination of a day out!
Michelle Scott owner of Clayful Creations York said:
Sutton Bank has always been a special place for my family. Some of my happiest memories are tied to days spent there together, so being given the opportunity to trade in such a beautiful location feels incredibly personal as well as exciting for my business.
I’m absolutely thrilled that Clayful Creations York will be part of the new market and I’d like to say a huge thank you to Little Bird Made and Sutton Bank for believing in independent makers. Opportunities like this make such a difference to small local businesses, and I am so grateful to be included in something that celebrates community, creativity and local talent.
The Little Bird Made Artisan Market will take place throughout 2026 on Saturday 30 May, Saturday 29 August and Saturday 28 & Sunday 29 November 2026. Entry to the Artisan Market and Sutton Bank National Park Centre is free, parking charges will apply.
