Organisers say the new market would be an "inclusive, free event"
A popular farmers' market is set to return to East Yorkshire after a
five-year absence.
The Humber Bridge Farmers' Market, held at the Country Park in Hessle,
was paused in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Humber Bridge Board announced it would be bringing back the markets
on a trial basis in spring 2025, alongside organisers Little Hummingbird
Events.
Andrew Arundel, chief operating officer at the Humber Bridge, said the
organisation was "really excited" about the return of the market.
"There’s not been a week go by when someone hasn’t asked via email, or
at the booths, or via social media when the market is coming back," he said.
The monthly market included food and drink stalls, as well as arts,
crafts and gifts, with the new version set to have a similar feel.

located, to Barton in North Lincolnshire
Nicola Hudson, of Little Hummingbird Events, said she wanted the new
market to provide a platform for "talented local artisans and makers".
"It is also about bringing communities together to support each other
and create that much-loved community spirit feel, which is something we
are incredibly passionate about," she said.
Fay Baker, the crossing's deputy chief operating officer, said the new
market would help make the bridge "more than a transport crossing and a
regional landmark".
