Independent Street is set to return to Southport Market Hall this Saturday, 1 August, bringing its award-winning artisan market to the historic venue and surrounding streets.
The popular monthly event will showcase a wide selection of independent traders, artisan food producers and talented makers from across the region.
Visitors will be able to browse unique handmade gifts, homeware and crafts, alongside locally produced food and drink, local honey, hand-raised pies and much more.
