EVERY second Saturday and Sunday of the month Stockport Market Place is transforme­d with two popular specialist market events that attract hundreds of people to enjoy a more boutique shopping experience in Stockport Old Town.

Stockport Makers Market has over 75 of the finest local artisans and producers, live music, award winning street food and quirky art and craft.

With so many interestin­g stalls surroundin­g the Market Hall, this fantastic event creates a buzzing and bustling atmosphere reminiscen­t of Stockport Market in its heyday.

The Makers Market features specially selected specialist­s who source, grow, rear, bake, make and create the products they sell, which ensures their goods are unique, original and designed to inspire.

The food aspect of the market is exceptiona­l. The very best of seasonal local farm produce, artisan breads, delicatess­en and hand crafted cheeses, produced and sourced by people who are passionate about what they do and when you meet these specialist­s you will see that their passion is infectious.

You can enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of Stockport’s Makers Market this Saturday and every second Saturday of the month from 10am to 4pm in Stockport Market Place.

The Vintage Village at Stockport Market Hall is a long-establishe­d multi-award-winning event that has spearheade­d the growth of specialist markets in Stockport.

Far from being just a market of vintage stalls selling nostalgic and retro items, The Vintage Village is a complete day out with a unique atmosphere all of its own.

Each monthly fair is themed and this Sunday is a particular highlight as The Vintage Village hosts its Classic Vehicles Fair, teaming up with the Hare and Hounds Classic Vehicles Club and The 3 Graces North West Classic Car Club to present the biggest and best display of classic vehicles in Stockport.

Expect to see the Market Place chock full of gleaming chrome, lustrous paint jobs, and engines so clean you could eat your dinner off them.

Get your fill of motoring glamour entirely for free as the Market Place is open to all, then come inside Stockport’s glorious Covered Market Hall for a feast of genuine vintage goods for ladies, gentlemen and the home.

There will be live performanc­es by Vince Hughes from TV’s Stars in Their Eyes and some musical surprises to celebrate the 40th anniversar­y of Grease.

The hotshot DJ team Girls Gone Rockin’ will be dressed as The Pink Ladies and members of The 3 Graces Classic Car Club will also come as characters from the iconic film so expect some ‘Greased Lightnin’ to take your breath away!
