The popular and vibrant Makers Market returned in Newmarket on Saturday 9 April.
Every month you will be able to support locally based small businesses and their handmade produce. Items include ceramics, woodcraft, original artwork, felting and needlecraft, candles, soap, and ironworks.
Live music by local entertainers will serenade you whilst you shop. Visitors will also be able to get creative at the craft workshops open to adults and children.
Cllr Glossop, Cabinet Member for Growth at West Suffolk Council said: “We are thrilled to welcome back the Makers Markets and the talented traders they showcase. The markets offer a great opportunity for people to start up or expand their business; we have seen great success since the conception of the Makers Markets in 2021.”
Dawn Cornell, who runs Dawns Shed selling handmade ceramic homewares and ornaments, and regularly trades on the Makers Markets said: “The makers markets have given me the opportunity to sample market life and to reach a wider audience. I love to trade at all the makers markets and chat to the different shoppers and other stall holders.”
West Suffolk markets play an important role in the local economy as they attract visitors and shoppers to the local high street and encourage people to shop local and support the town centres.
Taking place in the heart of our town, the Makers Markets will be held in Newmarket on the second Saturday of the month, also alongside the regular market.
