Spring Mini Market
Spring into the Lobby! Join us for our Independent Maker’s Market
Looking for the perfect way to kick off the new season? We’re transforming the stunning Kirkstall Forge lobby into a bustling mini-market on April 1st, celebrating 11 of the finest local businesses from across the region!
No matter if you’re a foodie, a dog lover, or a fan of unique handcrafted treasures, there is something for everyone. Come and browse an incredible curated selection including:
The Deli Counter: A huge range of artisanal cheeses, local honey, and freshly baked goods.
For the Four-Legged Friends: Gourmet dog treats and specialty “doggy soap” to keep your pups pampered.
Handcrafted Gifts: One-of-a-kind ceramics, bespoke silver jewellery, and beautiful handmade woolly hearts.
Home & Lifestyle: Scented soy wax melts, reed diffusers, and “carpet fresh” powders.
For the Young (and Young at Heart): Cute bookish tumblers, colourful fidget toys, and cosy plushies.
A Sweet Start to Spring:
Our very own Butlers Café team will be getting into the spirit by, preparing special cafe menu and handing out free homemade “bunny biscuits” to our early visitors to celebrate the start of the season!
This event is fully open to the public and families. It’s a wonderful way to support local makers and enjoy the incredible space at the Forge. Bring the kids, grab a coffee, and find something special.
