Richmond Twilight Markets Secure Devolution Funding Boost to Attract New Artisans

Richmond Twilight Markets Secure Devolution Funding Boost to Attract New Artisans

20 July 2026

Richmond's monthly Twilight Markets have received a major financial boost to help bring more independent traders into the town centre

Market coordinators in Richmond are celebrating after securing a specialised funding package from the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority. The financial grant, delivered through the region's devolution fund, is explicitly designed to expand the monthly Twilight Markets. The funding will be used to heavily discount stall rates for new local artisans, purchase modern market canopies, and fund live acoustic music lineups to transform the historic Market Place and boost evening footfall.
