Visitors to the market will be able to browse a range of stalls, including artisan food and drink producers offering distinctive flavours, local bakers selling freshly baked breads, cakes and sweet treats, and makers of handmade gifts, homeware and artwork. Independent street food traders will also be serving a variety of dishes from around the region.
Organisers say the event will offer something for everyone, whether visitors are looking for a unique gift, meeting friends for lunch or enjoying the town’s high street and independent businesses. Live music and free children’s craft activities will also take place throughout the day.
The event also reflects the priorities of Wyre Council, highlighting its commitment to supporting thriving town centres and promoting events that benefit residents, businesses and visitors.
