Flourish And Feast Market

Flourish And Feast is taking over Front Street in Acomb on Saturday 7 November. It's an artisan market, so the whole street becomes a stretch of stalls run by makers and producers rather than a single venue you pop into and out of. If you're in the Acomb area, it's a good excuse to spend a Saturday morning or afternoon wandering the shops and seeing what's on offer.

Being an artisan market, the focus is on things made by hand and sourced locally. You'll find a mix of crafts, food and drink, and other handmade goods, with the people who actually make the things standing behind their stalls. It's the kind of setup where you can chat with the makers about how they do what they do, rather than just picking something off a shelf. If you're looking for a gift that isn's come out of a warehouse, this is exactly where you'll find it.

Because it's on Front Street, it's right in the heart of Acomb, so you can combine it with your usual Saturday errands. It's a good day to get out and support the local makers and producers who keep the area's creative side going. If you're around York and fancy a slow morning of browsing, it's a straightforward one to work into your weekend.

Mark it down for Saturday 7 November on Front Street, Acomb, York.
