City of York Council has arranged for an artisan producers’ group to join forces with the traders of Newgate market to offer a new shopping experience this half term.

On Monday October 29, the group of artisan arts, crafts and fashion producers called Artsmix, will set out their stalls alongside traders from Newgate Market on Parliament Street for a bumper edition of the Monday market which will include jewellery makers, soap producers and frame makers.

For this exclusive event, the market will kick off at 10am and finish at 8pm, giving people the chance to stay in town longer, have a meal and start their Christmas shopping in style.
