Real Markets Creating Real Markets in beautiful Yorkshire - Ilkley, Ripley, Grassington, Harrogate, Otley, Saltaire & more
(8)

We started our monthly Ilkley market way back in 2015 following twelve months of hard work by a small group of volunteers and stallholders. Since then it has grown from a small market behind The Black Hat pub to a wonderful monthly community event on The Grove in the heart of Ilkley. We now run regular markets in Harrogate (Cambridge St), Otley (Market Square), Grassington (Market Square), Ripley Castle, Saltaire (Roberts Park) as well as many others. We prioritise Yorkshire independent producers and makers, as well as donating space and money to local good causes. Our dates and venues can be found on www.realmarkets.co.uk We hope to welcome you to Yorkshire's Friendliest Markets soon!

Otley, we're packed away and safe, and you’ve been brilliant!

A huge thank you to everyone who came down to support our traders at Otley Market today!

We might have looked a little different this morning, with our traders trading from their vehicles, but that didn’t stop us bringing you your monthly market favourites!

A massive shout-out to our adaptable traders for making it happen, and to every single one of you who came along, had a browse, made a purchase and showed your support. It really does mean the world to our small independent businesses.

This is what community is all about. Showing up for one another, supporting local and keeping our wonderful high streets and markets thriving.

Thank you for being part of it, Otley. We’ll see you next month on November 29!

Good Morning 💨💨💨

Unfortunately we will not be open today to coincide with the farmers market.

The market is still on for today though as the tough hardy traders are selling from their vehicles 💪🤗 Pop by if you are passing. Real Markets traders are 🏋️‍♂️
