The event will run 10am-5pm on Sunday 7th November 2021. Last entry is 4.30pm, and the cafe will be open until 4pm.

Winter Arts Markets 2021

The Winter Arts Market will return to the awe-inspiring Liverpool Cathedral this December with two festive shopping dates.

You can find stalls from over 50 independent artists, designers and makers in the magnificent surroundings of Liverpool Cathedral. Pop along with your friends and family to shop for creative crafts, gorgeous gifts, contemporary design and artisanal foods.

There will be new stalls featured at each event, where you’ll be able to find everything from cards, photography, ceramics and prints to jewellery, homewares, textiles and handmade beauty products.

The Cathedral’s Welsford Cafe will be open all day on both days, so you can also stop for a drink and a bite to eat and refuel.

Liverpool Print Fair

This November, Liverpool Print Fair is hosting a two-day art market, gathering independent artist and designers who will have a unique variety of original and handmade art prints for sale. Whether you want something to hang in your home office, or a gift to brighten up a new home, there will be plenty to choose from at Liverpool Print Fair.

With over 25 different sellers, the fair will host a different selection of stalls on both Saturday and Sunday. Make sure to visit both days if you want to see everything.

Local artists Toucan Tango have been commissioned to create an exclusive limited-edition print which will be available to the first 50 people through the doors each day. With each print there is also a chance to win one of four printmaking prizes from Cass Art too, so there’s plenty of reasons to get there early.

This is the eighth Liverpool Print Fair event since 2016 and this year it’ll be at Chapters Of Us – a beautiful venue in the Baltic Triangle, just a short walk from the Cains Brewery Village.

Croxteth Market

Croxteth Market is back! After two successful markets at the tail-end of 2020, they’re thrilled to finally be returning on Sunday 30 May 2021.

Once again, they will be opening their stunning Victorian stable yard from 11am-4pm, where various traders will be selling a range of gifts and foodie goodies for you to browse through and purchase.

As soon as they have more information on specific goods that will be on sale, they’ll update their website and share via social media.

Please note, the market will have the following COVID-secure measures in place:

  • As they can only allow a limited number of visitors at a time into the stable yard, a queuing system will be in place to comply with social distancing measures (expected maximum waiting time: 10-20 minutes)
  • Masks/face coverings MUST be worn at all times (unless you have a medical exemption)
  • Hand sanitizer will be available on arrival
  • In the interests of safety and fairness to those waiting in the queue, no seating will be provided within the stable yard itself (seating is available in the nearby courtyard – however, this is extremely limited and prioritised towards customers of the onsite food concession, so please bear this in mind)

To make the best of this month’s market, they urge visitors to take note of the following:

  • Car parking availability via Muirhead Avenue and Flint Drive (the latter of which is only accessible to disabled people, upon provision of a Blue Badge) is extremely limited. They urge people to travel to the market by foot where possible
  • Dogs are allowed, but MUST be kept on a lead at all times
  • Children MUST be accompanied by an adult
  • The closest public toilets are situated within the nearby courtyard – please note, these are managed by the onsite food concessions stand and open until 3pm only (queues expected)
  • This month’s market is free to enter and will feature a variety of traders
  • While card machines will be in place for payment purposes, they advise all market visitors to bring cash just in case, as the WiFi connection needed for card payments can be temperamental in an outdoor setting. Thank you for your understanding.
