This weekend: Mutts & Makers Market at Spinningfields ft. crafts, street food & dog pageant

Get your paws on doggie treats and puppy pampering at the Mutts and Makers Market this weekend. The monthly Spinningfields edition of the NW’s biggest independent traders market goes barking mad in September with dog-themed traders selling woofy wares, and even a canine caricaturist on hand to capture the best side of your dog. Enter the Doggy Awards or just kick back and watch mutt-themed movies on the Oast House Courtyard’s big screen. Two-legged friends will enjoy the market too, with the usual great Makers Market selection of craft and vintage stalls, tasty street food, and live entertainment in Spinningfields Square with DJ Tareck. Whether you’re shopping early for Christmas, after inspiring art for your home, or wanting a new outfit for your pup, you have two days to enjoy this bustling – and free – weekender in the heart of the city centre.

Sat 16 – Sun 17 Sep, Spinningfields Square, Deansgate, Manchester M3 3EH. 11am–5pm , FREE, www.themakersmarket.co.uk
