*Calling all local Skipton businesses* Skipton Ma

*Calling all local Skipton businesses*
Skipton Market is at the heart of the Skipton Community.
As a market we want to do all we can to support our local businesses and the local economy where possible. We understand the pressures town centres and small businesses are facing due to Covid-19.
We are working to government guidelines and for as long as we are able we would like to offer what we can to help local businesses where possible.
Whilst we are able to we are offering any local business the opportunity to stand on Skipton Market completely free of charge, to at least give them the opportunity to have an outlet to sell their goods.
You may be a café who has had to close their doors, a gift shop who needs a lower cost option to trade, a fresh produce establishment that needs an alternative outlet to sell your goods – or any other business within the Skipton Parish. We want to help you.
As a market authority we are taking all the necessary precautions to protect the public, our staff and the traders.
If you are a local business within the Skipton Parish and you would like to take a pitch on Skipton Market free of charge please email market@skiptontowncouncil.gov.uk and we will do our best to reserve you a pitch. ❤️
