After the huge success of its first Christmas Market, The Art Quarter Liverpool Market is back for summer 2023 at Metquarter, supporting small businesses and local makers.
Over forty talented artists, designers and makers will pack out the upper level of Metquarter offering incredible locally made gifts and products including jewellery, ceramics, glassware, illustration, candles and much more.
Taking place on Saturday 29th July from 11am-5pm, The Art Quarter Summer Market will host stalls from original makers, artisans, and crafters including Joolzery, a unique jewellery brand which designs, and handcrafts contemporary recycled copper and ethical healing crystal jewellery. The creative duo from Lazykate Textiles will also be on hand to give customers the chance to try weaving on their big wheel as well as selling a range of hand dyed yarn.
Local beekeeper and owner of Beeshack, Martin Swift, will be in attendance to provide customers with delicious local honey and honey related gift sets from his 100 hives across the city of Liverpool. Bespoke craft brand, Julie’s Dabbles will also be showcasing delightful model wooden houses and beach huts, together with handsewn hanging mobiles.
Completely free to attend, The Art Quarter Market will offer an array of entertainment throughout the day including live music from Wavertree Community Gospel Choir, SingMe Merseyside and Liverpool Chamber Choir. There will also be a fun filled hands-on children’s make and take workshop with Design Laser Play.
With Pride in Liverpool 2023 taking place the same day, guests can make a day of it in Metquarter by also visiting GPO Food Market which will be hosting a Bottomless Drag Brunch hosted by Twin Flame Drag Duo 12pm – 3pm on Sat 29th July.
