It is expected that many will attend the two-day market, which runs from 9am to 5pm on both days, and it is hoped it delivers a boost to local shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants.
Jennifer Jones, organiser, said: “We are so proud of what this market brings both in terms of supporting our artisan producers and also showcasing our beautiful town centre.
“The market has a very cosmopolitan feel with street food from India, North Africa, the Mediterranean and Italy alongside the more traditional food one would expect at such an event.
“Hot food and drink is available all day in many guises. Castlemoor hog roast, as always, will be in big demand, alongside Bryony Lockley’s seasonally inspired vegan and vegetarian dishes.
“The aroma of mulled wine from AppleTeme will be wafting in the air.
“We have craft producers producing silverware, pottery, glassware, country clothing, scenic photography, jewellery and much, much more.
“This is the 21st year we have had involvement in the local markets and we are thrilled how they have become established as major events for the region and are grateful for the loyal, local support from our community, it really has a family feel on market day."
