A new community market is open in Eastfield on Easter Saturday.
The event, funded by Eastfield PACT Partnership, will provide an alternative shopping experience for people living in the area, where previously they would have had to travel into Scarborough.
North Yorkshire Council’s superintendent of markets, Penny Beniston, says there has been strong interest from traders.
The monthly event will run until October on Eastfield High Street on the first Saturday of each month from 10am until 4pm.
Penny Beniston says the Marketplace is part of a scheme to improve the High Street and increase community events and activities in the area.
The event will feature stalls ranging from fruit and vegetables, household supplies as well as clothing, cakes, cheese, local honey, sweets and gifts. There will also be face-painting for children and hot food on offer.
There will be a guest appearance from the Easter Bunny along with competitions for the best decorated egg and an Easter egg hunt.
Local community organisations, such as the Eastfield Residents Association, will also be attending with information on the proposed community park as well as other plans for the town. The Marketplace is part of a scheme to improve the High Street and increase community events and activities in the area.
