The city centre news for July 7:

  • New city centre arts market planned
    Creative Open Workshops
    Those of you who have been involved in our Handmade markets for a while will know we have spoken about moving to the City Centre since long before Christmas. It’s been an ambition of ours to establish another market, which runs alongside our current one in a more central area. We have worked together with Daniel Cremin and the City Centre Partnership to come up with possible locations & infrastructures and want to thank you for all your patience!!
