Artisan traders are already busy baking, brewing, making and preparing to bring a whole array of interesting and unique products.

Anne Colley, Chair of the Brighouse Business Initiative, said: “We’re delighted that we are able to expand our popular Artisan Markets and hope as many of our regular visitors come and sample the delicious food and amazing crafts we have on offer.

“I’m particularly excited we have a selection of new producers who have chosen to join us for the event.

“New visitors to Brighouse are also always very welcome and we hope by focusing the event on just one day, many people who have not experienced our markets before will make the effort to pop down and see what the Brighouse experience is all about!”

There’ll be around 40 stalls across the town centre from regular favourites like Astag Venison, The Cheese Counter and Sweet Sensations to new additions Lisa’s Crafty Creations and the Wishing Tree.

The day will include the town’s St George’s Day Parade which will take place at 3.15pm.

Parking in Brighouse is free on Sundays in Calderdale Council car parks.
