Lowry Outlet Market makes a festive return this weekend
MAKERS Market is returning to Salford for a four-day festive special this weekend, with more markets every weekend in the lead up to Christmas.
The piazza of The Lowry Outlet Mall will once again be transformed into a haven of food, drink, crafts and more, as an array of independent creators, designers, producers, bakers and artists descend on Salford Quays.
Visitors can browse the wide range of products on offer, and perhaps find the perfect Christmas gift for friends and loved ones.
The Christmas market will offer shoppers to chance to browse unique products from local, independent traders that you won’t find on the high street.
There are more than 100 traders at the event over four days this weekend, with products such as handmade jewellery, bath products, candles, art, photography and plants. Market-goers can find bespoke products to spruce up their home such as luxury, handpoured home fragrances from Hattie & Beau and custom-made wall hangings from Seasalt & Gems.
There will be a range of street food to tuck into and food lovers can browse the array of artisan food products on offer.
The street food offering includes burgers from What’s Your Beef?, chicken wings and halloumi fries from Oh My Glaze, hot dogs from In The Dog Haus, plant-based dishes from Soul Vegan and Neapolitan wood-fired pizza from Wood Fire & Smoke.
Sweet options will come from the likes of Crepe Chateau, Cheshire Chimney Cakes and Cupcakery Prestwich. There will also be foodie products to take home, including chutneys and jams, Mediterranean olives, loose leaf teas, chocolate, pies, chilli sauces and much more.
Shoppers can pick up bottle of their favourite spirit including Worsley Gin and Salford Rum.
There will also be street entertainers and a chance to visit Santa and his talking reindeers in the Claus’ Christmas Cabin.
The Lowry Makers Market takes place from Thursday, November 22 until Sunday, November 25, with extended opening hours for the festive season.
It will be open from 10am to 7pm Thursday to Saturday, and 10am to 5pm on Sunday.
Further two-day festive markets will be held every weekend afterwards in the lead up to the big day, with traders rotating each week.
