Little Hummingbird Events

14/02/2025

If you like to support small, local and independent - then get these dates in your diary if you’re in West Yorkshire.

Our ‘Curated By’ Little Hummingbird Events Makers Markets are back in a week !!!

Trading from bespoke built Pods, our small independents will trade along the Middle Mall from 10-4pm. Here you’ll find a selection of Makers, Creators and Bakers all showcasing their products in a safe environment without the worry of good old British 🇬🇧 weather lol.

Traders don’t require any set up whatsoever - the pod has all you need to enjoy a day of selling - including a high stool, surface and hanging display, storage and shelving inside. This is why the pods are a good starting point for people who are just beginning their business journey and don’t yet have all the “trading kit” that’s often necessary. This gives you the chance to try out a makers market environment without any huge monetary outlay.

Together with the management of The Ridings Shopping Centre we work hard to ensure that the offer is of good quality, choice, standard and affordability.

We strive to ensure that these “Makers” have an offer that you just don’t find anywhere else on the High Street which gives you, the public, access to a world of craft and artisanal products on your doorstep.

To find out more please see our website and use the handy web booking form to apply. We only have 20 pods, hence the fortnightly offering, and it’s a great way to reach new audiences and ‘test the water’ with your makes.

We have news !!!

We are thrilled beyond words to have been approached by the award winning folk behind Bridlington King Street Market food festival to work with them this summer to bring our “artisan effect” to Bridlington King Street Market Place.

This wonderful opportunity has been given to us by Angela Bare who is integral to the workings of the co-operative that run this market town by the sea.

We are excited beyond words to have been asked to work with them given that their amazing Food Festival has reached such jaw dropping results and brought over 40,000 footfall to the area on event days. As you can imagine, this is wonderful news for the community and local trade of Bridlington. And supports everything we already do to shop small, local and independent.

We have built a new page which I will share here shortly, but for now we would ask all Makers, Creators and Artisans who wish to go to the “seaside” this summer to get in touch now - we will of course be scouring the east coast to track down talented locals too but if you know anyone in the area please do tag them in the new page.

It’s essential that the new page gets its own traction as tourists and locals will search for ‘that page’so I will pop it here on our main page in a second.

This will be an outside event with approx 60 stalls along the main shopping street of King Street. Traders will need a full outdoor trading set up as standard and should email us to apply quoting the word “seaside” in the title.

Hey fans - Just a little sneak peek of the kind of things on offer this Sunday at our very first Thoresby Park Makers Market inside The Riding Hall.

Join us 10-4pm
Free entry to the event
All day parking just £3

Did you know that not only do we support small independent businesses through our working model for markets and events but we also support them over at - this means that the more people we meet through eventing, the more we can support through their retail journey.

Take for instance - they are part of our collective in Sheffield and will transfer over to Retford once that one opens. Not only are they a beautiful pair of ladies but they work in our store, support each other and continue promote all of their co-collectives at the same time.

Whilst eventing may be your “thing” have you ever thought of stocking your work in a shop where it gets 7 days of trading attention ? It’s food for thought for sure … 🤔

Take a look at the exquisite + finite detail the ladies put into each of these hand embellished jackets. You simply cannot find this anywhere else on the High St.

If you love to support local and small like we do - give us a like or a wave and give these guys a follow also

11/02/2025

Not long now - will you be joining us INSIDE this fabulous site for our very first Thoresby Park Makers Market?

With over 30 talented makers showcasing their products you will be spoilt for choice.

"NEW VENUE ALERT"

Notcutts Garden Centres are renowned for their market-leading Christmas departments. We saw that this year at The Dukeries Fesrive events. They really are something else. To help inspire you they have themed displays and lots on offer, more than you can imagine. From gardening gifts and plants to tools and gift ideas that suit all budgets and types you will not leave empty handed thats for sure.

Given their full year round popularity - we are working with the group to give an additional offer on site throughout the year. Hence our involvement with woodford Park Garden Center Cheshire.

Woodford Park is the biggest site in the Notcutts group and is truly an impressive day out for all the family. The centre itself is vast and the restaurant has an amazing selection of meals and everything in between to warm you up after a walk around our event. Coffee and cake is highly recommended by our Team !

We are thrilled to be working with Notcutts again for a second year running to offer an Artisan & Makers Market in one of their huge outdoor spaces and hope you can pop along to see us.

We will be joined at Woodford Park by 40+ local makers, bakers, artisan, crafters, traders and more, offering you chance to get those "one off" type gifts for your loved ones, family and friends.

Our events are supported by a loyal trader following of truly talented people and we also hope to find new people from the area to join us. So if you know someone looking to showcase their makes, creations and more, please do share this with them!

More and more people are choosing to shop small, shop local and shop independently and we are thrilled to be coming to the area to deliver our Craft Artisan & Makers event.
