Artisan Market<br />
Haigh’s popular Artisan Market takes place this Sunday<br />
(6th <strong>December</strong>) from 10am-4pm at Haigh Hall Woodland<br />
Park (WN2 1PE). The market is run by The Market Co, which<br />
is known for delivering artisan markets in Wilmslow,<br />
Northwich, Urmston and other venues in the North West.<br />
In addition to running the artisan markets, the company<br />
also has a shopping platform for many talented artisans,<br />
small business producers and creators who display at<br />
their markets. This was launched earlier this year to help<br />
the NW’s artisan micro-businesses survive the pandemic.<br />
You can shop for a huge range of goods (including food,<br />
drink, art, crafts, bodycare, homeware and clothing)<br />
online at their impressive site www.themarketco.co.uk.<br />
The site also hosts micro-sites for each individual artisan.<br />
