A popular market is set to return to Northumberland this spring.
The Forage Market will take over the End Hemmel barn at Rigg and Furrow farm in Acklington on Good Friday and Easter Saturday, promising two days of creativity, food, and community spirit.
Visitors can expect more than 40 independent makers, designers and food vendors featuring handmade goods, a variety of products, and artisan food.
Steven Eyles, co-founder of The Forage Market, said: "It’s a place where makers, creatives and curious shoppers come together to celebrate craftsmanship, support local businesses and enjoy the buzz of a creative community gathering as the seasons change."
The event is designed to showcase the best of Northumberland’s independent makers, offering visitors a chance to discover unique gifts while supporting small businesses.
In addition to the market, guests can enjoy the Rigg and Furrow taproom, which will be serving drinks alongside a selection of street food.
Organisers say it is an opportunity to make the most of the Easter weekend with family and friends in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
The Forage Market is the brainchild of creative duo Ellie Davison-Archer and Mr Eyles.
It has quickly grown into one of the region’s most popular independent markets, regularly attracting crowds of more than 3,000.
Entry to the market is £2, with free admission for under-16s, carers, and dogs.
The ticket price includes parking, entry into a raffle, and a charity donation.
Visitors can purchase tickets in advance via the Forage Lifestyle website or pay on the door.
Organisers suggest staying on-site after shopping to enjoy the wider experience.
The market will be open from 12pm to 5pm on the Friday and Saturday.
The taproom will remain open until 9pm on the Friday and until 7pm on the Saturday.
