Arrival of the Best

Yorkshire Best's First Event

 

Today finally saw the arrival of Now and Then Event's first ever Yorkshire Best event at the Hospitium in the Museum Gardens of York.

 

 

 

The beautiful 14th century building which over looks the ruins of St Mary's Abbey enticed 600 people through the doors to view and purchase some of Yorkshire's finest produce, taste some of the most exquisite food and drink and create personal and bespoke crafts with the help of our talented workshop holders.

The day had the added benefit of proving the forecasts wrong, keeping the rain at bay which was handy for the army of Now and Then volunteers who were out and about on the streets of York, directing the public into the event and making them more aware of the delights that could be found inside.

 

 

 

 

Now and Then would like to give two special thank yous; first of all there has to be mention for all the fabulous stall holders who's ware's really did live up to the title of 'Yorkshire Best' so keep an eye out for future blogs that will give a more in depth look at some of the individuals work.

 

Secondly, a huge thank you to One and Other [York] who helped sponsor the event. For more information about them, please click on the link.

 

Now we hate to end the blog on a sad note but sadly, one of the Yorkshire Best's direction signs was stolen from the Museum Garden's. As you can see its made Alex from Now and Then very sad so if anyone can return this sacred piece of handy work and put a smile back on her face, as a reward you can have free entry into the next Now and Then event of your choice!!
