The monthly market in Ilkley celebrates its 10 anniversary.
Originally launched with the title 'Real Food Ilkley', based on South Hawksworth Street behind The Black Hat Pub, the market soon grew and relocated to The Grove in 2019.

Taking place the first Sunday of each month in Ilkley, excluding January, the market has also given many community groups and charities the opportunity to showcase what they do.
A spokesperson for Real Market said:
"We can hardly believe it, but Ilkley Market has been going strong for 10 amazing years! What started as a small gathering behind the Black Hat pub has grown into one of the region’s most loved monthly markets on The Grove — all thanks to you."
"Many of the original traders who joined us in those early days are still with us today, which says so much about the power of local business, community spirit, and your continued support."
"Thank you to everyone who stops by, shops small, and makes Ilkley Market part of your month. Let’s celebrate a decade of amazing makers — and here’s to many more!"
The next Real Markets in Ilkley is on Sunday, 1st June, between 10am and 3pm.
Real Markets now has regular markets in Ripon, Otley, Grassington and Harrogate - and well as Ilkley!
