Many Hands Market — the August gathering at The Beverley Barn
About this Event
— a note from the field
In June we opened the barn doors for the first time, and you filled it. A full barn, stalls brimming, music drifting out across the fields, children with ice cream, neighbours who arrived as strangers and left as friends. We weren't sure what would come of it. What came was something tender and true — and one question, asked over and over: when's the next one?
This is the next one.
On Sunday 2 August we gather again at The Beverley Barn — a converted dairy barn set in the fields of East Yorkshire, run by Karina's daughter. The timing is no accident. The first weekend of August falls on Lammas (Lughnasadh), the old first-harvest festival — high summer, the fields turning gold, the first loaves of the year.
What's on the day
• Stalls from local growers, makers & healers — things to taste, take home, and learn
• Hands-on workshops & demonstrations to watch and try
• Real slow food and street-food traders
• Live acoustic music
• A kids' corner and an ice cream van
Coming along
Entry is £5, booked here in advance. Under-16s come free. And because this is a market for everyone, there's a free "pay-what-you-can" community ticket for anyone for whom the £5 is a barrier — no one is ever turned away for lack of funds. Your ticket helps keep this small market alive and the gatherings going, month to month.
The practical bits
There's parking on site. Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome. The barn gives us shelter, so the day goes ahead whatever the weather — bring a layer in case it's breezy in the fields. If there's anything you need to come along comfortably, write to [email protected] or call +44 7983 819350.
This is a market for the people, by the people. As Karina puts it: "Let's paint our own unique pathway to the future."
Come for an hour or the whole afternoon. Bring someone you love. From field to hearth — see you in the barn.
