In Knaresborough, Little Bird will be setting up in their usual position within the iconic castle grounds.

The town will also have a king-sized screen to show the Coronation events live in the grounds of Knaresborough House.

Visitors will be able to come along to the market and Knaresborough House and bring their picnics to enjoy in either location – hopefully in the sunshine.

As if two markets weren’t enough in the one-day, Little Bird will be going for the treble and also have a market in Wetherby on the Saturday in partnership with Welcome to Wetherby around the Town Hall.

There will be family fun day, which will include a large screen to watch the events, Little Bird market, entertainment for all ages and live music.

A spokesperson for Little Bird Made said: “All Little Bird markets over the three days will be packed full of bunting and decorations to celebrate the weekend.

"Not forgetting the amazing products that are lovingly made by the stall holders, many of which will have unique items to commemorate the iconic events.
