ONE of the highlights in the Northwich calendar makes its return this weekend.

The Artisan Market, which takes place on the second Saturday of every month will take over the town centre tomorrow (April 9).

Consisting of more than 100 of the very finest artisan market traders, the monthly event lines Witton Street, while you can head over to Barons Square where there will be plentiful food on offer.

A spokesman for the market said: "Whether it is something for dinner, a gift for a friend, a treat for someone special or simply stocking up on essentials that you can’t get elsewhere – the Artisan Market is the place to visit.

"No matter what the weather rain or shine, the market will enliven your spirit, and combined with a scout around the shops and time out in a restaurant; it’s a great day out.

"The artisan traders will have been busy, baking, brewing, preparing, making, capturing (pictures that is!), designing, distilling, sewing, stitching, stirring, cooking, sourcing, painting, growing and constructing."

As well as all the amazing produce on sale, the market also offers up the opportunity to meet town councillors who will also be manning a stall should you have any queries.

The market takes place between 10am-4pm.

Future dates for the market are: May 14, June 11, July 9 and August 13.
