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.
