Janine GriffithsA community market in East Leeds is inviting families, food lovers and local traders to come together for a series of events running throughout the summer.
The Micklefield Market will take place every second and fourth Thursday at Micklefield Youth Centre from 4pm to 7pm, bringing local traders and residents together in the heart of the LS25 area.
Organisers are encouraging people to “support local traders”, “grab something tasty” and “bring the family” as the market returns with a mix of stalls and community atmosphere.
Dates confirmed so far are:
- 14th and 28th May
- 11th and 25th June
- 9th and 23rd July
- 13th and 27th August
- 10th and 24th September
The market is also looking for traders, including bakers, makers, crafters and artisan sellers, with organisers welcoming “anything different or unusual”.
Micklefield sits on the eastern edge of Leeds, close to communities including Garforth and Kippax.
Anyone interested in trading at the market can call or text 07713 140655.
With fresh food, handmade goods and family-friendly activities promised, the market aims to create a welcoming local space where residents can shop small and support independent traders.
Organisers say both regular and ad hoc traders are welcome as they continue building the market across the summer months.
