August is another busy one with markets on all weekends of the month, except for the Bank holiday one

Another busy month of face-to-face events, with a few new venues, and a trip further south than usual

Granby Street Market

It's been awhile, but I'm back, for the 2nd time this year, at the wonderfully eclectic Granby Street community market.

There will be 50+ stalls selling everything including fantastic handmade and handcrafted arts and crafts, artisan and street food, plants, bric-a-brac, recycled and upcycled items from around the local area.

There is always something different at this market, with DJs playing banging tunes and local community groups providing the entertainment, it's always  well worth a visit!!!

Granby Street Market takes place at Granby Street, Princes Park, Liverpool. L8

Wylde Blossom Wellness Festival

Excited to be back this month for the Wellness Festival at Pendle Heritage Centre with Wylde Blossom.

I absolutely love this venue, with its history, the 18th century herb and medicinal gardens and fairy trail, it's such as spiritual place where my handcrafted jewellery naturally fits right in.
 

There will be 15+ wellness and spiritual stalls, selling everything including fantastic handmade and handcrafted arts and crafts, along with the opportunity to spoil and pamper yourself with therapies and tarot card readings.

With a myriad of activities available on the day, including yoga and meditation. adult and child foraging, belly dancing and drumming workshops.

What a wonderful way to spend the day with the family?

The Wellness Festival take place at Pendle Heritage Centre, Colne Road, Barrowford, Lancashire, BB9 6JQ

South Planks Farm Artisan Market

Since I stopped doing the Brockholes Artisan markets, I have been looking around for an alternative event within the area, so when this popped up in my instagram feed, naturally I was all over it.

Not sure what to expect, so I'm keeping an open mind, but asking my network of stallholder acquaintances, the feedback is both positive and promising.
 

With a myriad of stalls selling handmade unique gifts, crafts and art, it's a wonderful opportunity to discover talented local makers and enjoy a relaxed day in the heart of the community, wonder around the farm or have a break in the cafe.

South Planks Artisan Market will be at the South Planks Farm, Garstang Rd, Barton, Preston PR3 5AB

Peterborough Cathedral Summer Artisan Market

Originally this weekend I had pencilled in for Art in the Pen, however as I only made it on to their reserve list again, and as I'm no ones second choice, I decided to apply for this.

Looking at the whole logistics and financials, this might actually be a better option for me.

I can't wait to see the interior of the Norman Peterborough Cathedral, with towering Gothic features, not sure what to expect, but I think it maybe similar to the Ripon Cathedral interior:
 

Billed as a vibrant event bringing together a curated selection of talented artists, creators, and independent businesses, offering a wonderful opportunity to shop a wide range of handmade products and support local makers.

Peterborough Cathedral Summer Artisan Market will be held at Peterborough Cathedral, Minster Precinct, Peterborough PE1 1XS
