Families are in for a treat this summer as Wetherby Thursday Market launches a programme of free children’s activities, running every Thursday from July 24th to August 28th, between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM.
Each week will bring a different selection of fun and engaging experiences for children, including trails, crafts, competitions, quizzes, special visitors, and even taste tests. The activities are completely free of charge and designed to keep kids entertained while parents browse the bustling market.
Set in the heart of Wetherby, a beautiful and historic market town on the banks of the River Wharfe, the Thursday market is the perfect setting for a family day out. With its charming selection of independent shops, cafés, historic, riverside and floral walks, Wetherby offers something for everyone.
“We’re thrilled to be bringing family-friendly fun to the market this summer,” said a spokesperson for Wetherby Market. “Each week offers something new, and we hope families will make the most of it—not just at the market, but throughout the town.”
Whether you’re local or visiting for the day, this is a great opportunity to explore all that Wetherby has to offer. Why not make a full day of it?
We have great picnic spots too!
