THE Shipley alternative market and craft fair is returning to the Kirkgate Centre, Shipley, this Sunday.

After an enforced break, due to lockdown restrictions, the event will open its doors again to showcase local talent.

A spokesperson for the market and craft fair said: "These events are sometimes the main source of income for lots of local crafters, who have been almost forgotten during the pandemic.

"As many venues were allowed to open, the reluctance of organisers to plan for this type of event has meant that it has taken even longer for crafters to get back to showing off their talents.

"We are hoping that the public will support these events by coming along and taking a look at some of the unique items that are available."

There will be five in total over the course of this year, the first one being from 10am to 4pm on Sunday with free entry.
