Following a hugely successful event in March, the popular Eccles Artisan Market is making its return this summer, promising another vibrant day celebrating local businesses, creativity, and community spirit.

The market will take place on Sunday 5 July from 11am until 4pm on Church Street in Eccles town centre, where visitors can browse a wide range of artisan stalls featuring handmade crafts, artwork, gifts, food, drink, and much more.

Organised by Independent Street, the event will once again transform the town centre into a bustling marketplace, with live music performances helping to create a lively atmosphere throughout the day. Families will also be able to enjoy a range of free activities designed to keep children entertained while parents explore the stalls.

Organisers say they were delighted with the turnout and support from local residents during the March event and are hoping for another strong community response when the market returns this summer.

Despite the less-than-perfect weather at the last event, shoppers turned out in force, proving that a little rain is no match for Eccles community spirit.

More details about traders, entertainment and activities are expected to be announced closer to the event date.

The Eccles Artisan Market takes place on Sunday 5 July, 11am to 4pm, on Church Street, Eccles, M30 0DF.
