From street food to arts and crafts, Great Manchester has a wealth of top notch markets that are well worth a visit
Markets in Manchester have been seen a huge resurgence recently, and show no sign of slowing down.
What used to be the backbone of many communities died away after the dominance of supermarkets - but we could be on the brink of a market comeback. Bolton council has pumped almost £4.5mi into their markets recently, while the Grade II listed Mackie Mayor in Manchester is in line for a major restoration.
With new markets cropping up across the city and a bunch of renovations on the horizon, it's much easier to be canny with your cash and support local traders.
Markets provide a platform for indies to set up shop. From seasonal produce to to artisan pies, local photography to handmade jewellery, support the local community by dishing out your dollar to independent traders on your doorstep.
