In conjunction with We Are Local Heroes, we’re excited to bring together some of the finest independent food, drink and artisan traders from across the North East. Doors open at 10am-3pm and entry is free.
Markets like these are not only a great day out – they’re also an opportunity for visitors to play their part in supporting small businesses, the local economy, as well as strengthening our community ties. By shopping local, we can help support independent traders, encouraging the next generation of entrepreneurs and ensure investment stays in our region.
