Deliciouslyorkshire pop-up shop takes off at airport

Thousands of international visitors are set to enjoy a taste of Yorkshire thanks to a Deliciouslyorkshire pop-up shop opening at Leeds Bradford Airport.

The Deliciouslyorkshire shop, which will be open until Christmas Eve, will offer a range of products from suppliers across the county to more than 120,000 passengers who will use the airport during that time.

From new, artisan brands to more established and iconic Yorkshire brands there will be more than 35 producers featured, from local beers, ciders, spirits, jams, chutneys, sweet treats and gifts.

Judy Bell, chairman of Deliciouslyorkshire, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled with the opportunity to showcase some of the world’s finest food and drink produced right here in Yorkshire and we are sure visitors will want to take a taste of Yorkshire to their loved ones for Christmas, to enjoy on their holiday or to take advantage of the ‘collect on return’ facility offered by Leeds Bradford Airport. We would encourage them to take a little piece of Yorkshire with them and at the same time support local producers by making a purchase.”

David Laws, CEO at Leeds Bradford Airport, said: “We are committed to providing an enhanced airport experience for our customers and what better way than by working with Deliciouslyorkshire on this venture to bring them the opportunity to sample and buy some of the very best of Yorkshire’s fantastic food and drink.

“The pop-up shop supports our commitment to highlight, showcase and champion all things Yorkshire and this collaboration allows our visitors to experience some of the very best that Yorkshire has to offer and to find that perfect gift.”
