Artisan Manchester are set to launch their first ever monthly Market Fest from Sunday 25th September, which will run from 12 – 5 pm. The makers-market festival will highlight the creativity and casual cool of Artisan, whilst illustrating the versatility of the spacious restaurant, bar and private dining areas.
Purveyors of artisan goods will come together with a focus on hand-crafted items, food, drink and activities. Visitors can also browse stylish children's products, collectible vinyl, gifts and arts and crafts. Tying in with the ethos of Artisan as a sociable and cultural place to eat, meet and drink, Market Fest will show off the creative talents of local independent businesses. The stall spots are completely free and all profits go to the traders.
A kid's corner will feature plenty of alluring activities including pizza making and cupcake decorating and a magician will be on hand to entertain. Guests of all ages can enjoy face painting and board games. Live music will add to the buzz from 2pm onwards and spirit masterclasses, Artisan cocktail showcases, prosecco vs. champagne, build your own Bloody Mary bar and blend your own Haig will add to the festival vibe, as well as an in situ photo booth to capture the fun.
Seven local artisanal traders are already confirmed exhibitors at the Market Fest, including Kula Gallery, Wonderhaus, Acorn and Pip, The Manchester Bee Company, Ink Inc Design and Vinyl Therapy ensuring there will be an eclectic selection of unique goods on offer.
A Sunday Roast and the usual rustic and nourishing Artisan menu will still be available for diners. There will be 30% off your total food bill all day and tables can be booked via www.artisan.uk.com/marketfest.
Market Fest is sure to become one of the key dates in the Manchester calendar offering beats, eats and treats for all the family.
