Start the Jubilee weekend off in style at the Austwick Street Market! There will be something for everyone; entertainment, stalls, food and fell race.

Circus entertainer, Zoot, will keep younger visitors entertained whilst Settle & Giggleswick Brass Band will be leading a fancy dress parade from the school at 10.45am. Children are invited to dress up royally to mark the Jubilee weekend.

There will also be face painting, games and fell races for children and young people of 8 years and over. Other highlights include the stunning Thwaites Dray Horses, Oak Jazz Band, vintage cars and live ceilidh and guitar music.

Stalls will be selling crafts, bric a brac, second hand household items, clothes, books and plants. The legendary bacon butty stall will be open to keep you fuelled up, plus pie and peas, a hog roast, sandwiches, cakes, scones, teas and coffees and other drinks. Thanks to our many generous sponsors there will be excellent prizes for winners of the Grand Draw and in the tombola.

The Austwick Amble Fell Race has become a key event in its own right in the running community. The 8 mile adult course takes a stunning route through limestone scenery above the village.  Full details, including online entries and rules are available via the village website www.austwick.org Junior races start at 11.20am and the senior race at 1.00pm. Registration on the day is open from 10.15 am on the village green.

The main street through the village will be closed between 9.00 am and 4.00 pm on Thursday 2 June, so there will be no through access to/from Helwith Bridge and the B6479.

All funds raised on the day go towards the upkeep of two key village facilities used by many – the Parish Hall and Playing Fields so we really appreciate everyone’s support. Entry to the Street Market is with the programme, suggested donation £1 on the gate, children free.

We look forward to seeing you on the day and celebrating in true Austwick style!
