Set in the heart of one of Yorkshire’s most loved market towns, Skipton Artisan Market is a welcoming monthly event celebrating independent traders, local makers, artisan producers and small businesses. Often described as the Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, Skipton is a beautiful historic town full of character, charm and plenty to explore. Our artisan market takes place in the picturesque setting of the Canal Basin, close to Coach Street and Bridge Street car parks, making it easy for visitors to enjoy the market and the wider town in one relaxed day out.

Each month, Skipton Artisan Market brings together a carefully selected mix of up to 27 quality stalls, offering a wide range of products including artisan food, handmade gifts, homeware, crafts, artwork, bakes, preserves, treats and much more. The focus is on quality, variety and independent businesses, with many products made, designed or produced by the traders themselves. Whether you are looking for a thoughtful gift, something special for the home, local produce, a weekend treat or simply a pleasant Sunday browse, Skipton Artisan Market offers something for all tastes.

The market is perfectly placed for visitors to enjoy everything Skipton has to offer. Alongside the stalls, you will find plenty of lovely independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants on the High Street and tucked away in the town’s charming side streets. Visitors can also make a full day of it with a walk along the canal, a visit to the famous Skipton Castle, or even a relaxing boat trip with Pennine Cruisers from the nearby canal side.

With its historic surroundings, friendly atmosphere and fantastic selection of independent traders, Skipton Artisan Market is a wonderful way to spend a Sunday in one of Yorkshire’s finest towns. Come along, support local businesses and enjoy a relaxed day out at Skipton Artisan Market.
