Birchwood welcomes back artisan markets at the weekend

The markets are being run at the same time as Birchwood Shopping Centre's 'One Great Day' event, which looks to be fun for the whole family.

Aside from the shopping centre's circus-themed 'fun raiser', the markets will be providing some 'retail therapy' for those wishing to peruse the 60+ stalls that will be on offer.

Included amongst the stalls will be Fearnhead's 'To Pie For' - the recent winner of the Warrington Guardian's Best Pie 2022 award.

Plus, local beekeeper Greg will be there with his homemade honey stand: Greg's Busy Bees.

There will be a whole heap' of stalls ranging from bakes to crafts, to jewellery, and even homemade spirits and liqueurs.

Lisa Cowley is from Independent Street, the business behind the markets - she said: "We will have something for everyone whether you want to stock up for the weekend or start your Christmas Shopping early!

"We cannot wait."

As usual, the markets are free-to-enter, and are completely dog-friendly - you'll be able to find the market outside Entrance Four at Birchwood Shopping Centre.

There will be street food, and live music, too - plus, a free face painter for any younger guests.

Birchwood's artisan markets will be held on Saturday, September 24, at Birchwood Shopping Centre, between 10am and 4pm.
