Bolton’s much-loved Makers Market to return this weekend

Bolton’s Makers Market was first held last year on October 12 and quickly proved a hit, with some stalls almost selling out of products.

It will be returning to Newport Street this Sunday (March 8) with a packed line-up of artisan makers, street food traders and creatives from across the region.

Visitors will be able to enjoy a range of food from gourmet grilled cheese toasties from Absolute Meltdown to pies from Chris.cheshirepie and scotch eggs from Mr Murray’s Scotch Eggs.
