If you’re in and around Retford this weekend Little Hummingbird Events and The Hummingbird Collective are hosting another amazing event with a truly talented mix of artists, handmade artisan goods and independent small businesses 🌷

From candles, doggy treats, jewellery, bespoke clothing and so much more there really is something for everyone, and supporting local is one of the best ways to support your community!

Sunday 24th May in the market square ✨

Are you local to Retford or the surrounding villages? Fancy a stroll around a brand-new event in Retford Market Square this Sunday, 10am-4pm.?

Spearheaded by Little Hummingbird Events and supported by staff and members of The Hummingbird Collective (which resides on the Market Square itself, inside the former NatWest Bank), this event will be a charming showcase of local entrepreneurs, farmers, growers, crafters, foodies, and more.

We will bring the Market Square to life with food and gift inspiration, handmade goods and local produce, which should bring extra footfall into the town and benefit all local businesses.

If you are a local business opening in Retford on Sunday, please jump on this train and give us a like and share. Likewise, tag your own business and we will re-share you too.

Special thanks to Bassetlaw District Council for supporting this project and for being so tremendously helpful throughout the process. Thank you also to the Mayor. She is great champion for all we do for Retford. Thank you Hilary.

Ten Green Bottles and Rondo Lounge will be open for your hot drinks and delights.
