Little Bird Made kicking off October in style with triple market weekend - including in Wetherby

The Town Mayor of Wetherby, Councillor Neil O’Byrne, will be visiting the market on Sunday in his home town to speak to traders and customers.

The markets are a great opportunity to support local businesses and buy unique products that are not available in the shops.

A spokesperson for Little Bird Made said: “Many of the traders are small independent businesses or people with a hobby or passion that they have grown into a small business opportunity.

“Every trader works hard to design, make and publicise their products, so each purchase a customer makes is genuinely supporting local people to fulfil their dreams and ambitions.

“Even though times are difficult for everyone just now, by supporting these small businesses and shopping at local shops within town centres, it will ensure they are able to continue trading and be able to follow their dreams.”
