Whalley Artisan Market Brings Autumn Magic This Sunday

The ever popular Whalley Artisan Market returns this Sunday from 11am to 4pm, promising a full day of creativity, community and celebration in the heart of one of Lancashire’s most picturesque villages.

Organised by Crafty Vintage, the event brings together a handpicked collection of talented artisans, food producers, and musicians, each contributing to an atmosphere that perfectly captures the charm of autumn in the Ribble Valley. Visitors can look forward to browsing an inspiring range of stalls featuring handmade crafts, vintage finds, bespoke gifts, art, and gourmet foods all produced by independent makers from across the region.

The market is more than just a shopping experience. It is a social gathering and a celebration of local enterprise that brings people together to support small businesses and enjoy the simple pleasures of village life. As the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, Whalley will once again come alive with colour, music, and the inviting aroma of freshly cooked street food.

Live music from Phil Halliwell will provide the perfect soundtrack to the day, while visitors can enjoy hot street food, sweet treats, and locally roasted coffee. The event is free to attend, and both families and dogs are welcome, making it an ideal Sunday outing for everyone.

Laura Johnson, Co Founder of Crafty Vintage, organisers of the Whalley Artisan Market, said:

“Each month our market evolves with the seasons, and autumn is always a particularly beautiful time in Whalley. We are proud to bring together such a talented collection of local makers and to see the village come alive with creativity, music, and community spirit. It’s a place where visitors can find something truly unique, meet the makers behind the products, and enjoy a genuine sense of togetherness that Whalley is known for.”

Since its launch, the Whalley Artisan Market has become a highlight in the village calendar, drawing visitors from across Lancashire and beyond. With its blend of craftsmanship, live entertainment, and local hospitality, it continues to strengthen Whalley’s reputation as a vibrant destination for those who value creativity and community.
