A popular monthly artisan market in Doncaster has been axed – with the organisers of another similar event offering to fill the breach.

Doncaster Markets has announced that the market, which is held on one Saturday each month, has been cancelled for this coming weekend and for all remaining dates this year.

A spokesman said: “With regret, we're having to cancel this weekend's Artisan Market and all remaining artisan markets for 2023 - apologies to all concerned.

“Rather than dwell on this negative, we're looking forward excitedly to bringing back Artisan Markets in 2024 when the fabulously refurbished Corn Exchange will provide an beautiful new home for future artisan markets and other pop-up events, rain or shine.”

Bosses say the artisan market will return in 2024.

However, Artisan Street Fayres, which runs a regular event at Lakeside Village said: “So sorry to hear this – if any traders need a space in Doncaster Lakeside Village until this is back up and running, please feel free to contact us.”
