Fox Valley hosts its biggest Makers Market of the year this weekend
2 October 2023
Fox Valley shopping centre in Stocksbridge will be hosting its Makers Market again this weekend [October 7 and 8] with a full line-up of traders and some great autumnal activities for visitors to get involved in.
From 10am until 3pm more than 25
traders will be showcasing a mixture of handmade goods from clothing and
jewellery to home accessories, as well as a great lineup of street food across
the two days.
Throughout the weekend, the team
at Sheffield Churches Council for Community Care (SCCCC) will be hosting a free
pumpkin design workshop. Shoppers of all ages will be able to design their own
pumpkin ready for spooky season.
This month’s market will be
hosting talented makers such as Nelly’s Fudge and Benjee’s Brownies with their
delicious homemade sweet treats. The
market will also be welcoming Pink Flamingo Boutique offering range of ladies’ fashion
and accessories, alongside Handcrafted Jewellery by Kim.
Customers can also expect to see
regular traders such as Flossy’s Dog Goodies with their homemade dog treats and
the return of Holmes Hounds with their personalised pet supplies.
Delicious street food traders will
also be joining the market, such as Eat Dutch Street food serving Dutch mini
pancakes, Fresh Belgian Waffles, Dutch frikandel dogs and Gouda bites. The Real
Greek BBQ Street Food, formerly known as Mainstreet Greek, will also be back with
its mouth-watering Greek gyros.
Claire Biltcliffe, Centre Manager
at Fox Valley, said: “Our monthly markets have grown tremendously this year and
we have welcomed some amazing new traders to the centre. We have been working
closely with our charity to provide free activities for shoppers to get
involved in, and all together the atmosphere has just transformed.”
“Come down this weekend and grab
yourself some novelty goods, sweet treats, hot food and if you’re feeling
creative, design your own pumpkin to take home.”
The event is held in partnership
with the centre’s adopted charity for this year, SCCCC. The charity aims to use
Fox Valley as a space to bring the local community together through a range of
activities that can be enjoyed by all ages.
The Fox Valley car park offers
four hours free parking with all day parking available for just £3.50.
The centre team is always on the
lookout for new independent traders to join their regular weekly and monthly
markets.
