Independent Street owner Lisa Cowley said:
“What a fantastic welcome to Southport we had at our first event in March!
“We received great feedback from customers and our stall holders too.

“Many of our food stalls sold out and it was a great addition to the already brilliant vendors in Southport Market Hall.
“Our children’s craft table and face painting proved very popular indeed.
“I’d like to say massive thanks to Southport Market Manager Jordan and Sefton Council for their support.
“We can’t wait to build on the success of our first event and can’t wait to welcome everyone on Saturday (4th April 2026).

“I would urge any local artisans to get in touch!
“If you you would like to join us please email me at: [email protected] “
