Winter Arts Market
Saturday 2 December 2017, 10am-7pm
Liverpool Cathedral
Visitors’ admission: £3 (under 16s free)
“The Winter Arts Market is always an amazing event,” says Sarah. “Held at Liverpool Cathedral this year, it is run by a really nice group of people. Apply early though as it’s always extremely popular.”

Handmade Arts & Crafts Market
Saturday 28 October 2017, 11am-4pm
Adelphi Hotel
Visitors’ admission: Free
“We work on a first come first served basis and have a strict policy that the items sold on the stalls have to be handmade/crafted by the stallholder,” says Joolz Smith, who is behind the event.
“The stallholders run our market so the stall fees just cover the venue hire and printing, but in return for that we expect the stallholders to actively promote their participation in the market through their networks including social media, in turn increasing the footfall.”
