Since we last blogged we've had three more very successful markets at Wilmslow Artisan Market , Altrincham Vintage and Craft and Castlefield Artisan All three are fab and they each have a very different feel. Wilmslow is sited on a busy and bustling town high street which definitely comes alive on market day. There's a real continental market town feel to the day with huge support from local residents enjoying the full experience of the market and bringing increased custom to the existing shops and cafe bars too.

On the third Sunday of the month the market is filled with vintage and artisan craft stalls each offering something very different and very individual. The market has been taking place for several months now and has many regular return customers and is discovered by many new ones each event and is definitely well worth a visit!

Last, but by no means least is the Castlefield Artisan Market A new market on the Artisan calendar, the December market will be the third and if the first two are anything to go by, it's definitely one not to miss! Set in the wonderful Castlefield Basin area of Manchester this is a gem in the heart of the city. It's situated in a lovely cobbled area under the railway arches and the first Sunday of the month it becomes a bustling 'town' filled with stalls selling a variety of delicious produce and artisan arts and crafts at their best. Entertainment has been provided on both occasions by the fabulously energetic Cotton Town Hot Club and the November market saw the addition of Sax Solution. They both help create a fabulous atmosphere and the next market is definitely one to put in your diary!
