Spinningfields Makers Market’s Summer in the City ft. watermelon coolers, gin and DJs

Themed around a ‘Summer in the City’ vibe, the popular arts and crafts, foods and drinks, quirky finds and local shopping Makers Markets are going to be celebrating all that’s sunny and bright in Spinningfields. It’s free entry and fun for all, whether spending a lazy day reclining on deckchairs listening to their resident DJs’ chilled mixes, bringing the kids for a fun day out finding summer treats you won’t see in the supermarkets or picking the brains of iconic photographers, vintage styled jewellers and inspirational experts in design, homeware and gardening goodies. From fruit-filled watermelons lovingly carved by Have A Banana to the tastiest of stinky cheeses, award-winning pies and quirky cakes, the Makers Market’s food and drink offerings are second to none. We’d recommend tucking into the best eats by What’s Your Beef and Oh My Glaze, washed down by rhubarb gins from Salt and Spice.

Sat 20-Sun 21 Aug, Spinningfields Makers Market, Spinningfields Square, Manchester, M3 3EA. 11am – 5pm, FREE, www.themakersmarket.co.uk
