More dates have been announced for later this year - including Christmas - after the success of two street markets in Morecambe town centre.
The Morecambe BID Community Markets will return on Saturday September 27 and Saturday December 20
On both dates, the market will run from 10am until 5pm across Market Street, Euston Road, New Town Square and Victoria Street.
They will include a line-up of Lancashire and Cumbria traders, showcasing regional produce, crafts, and gifts. Stalls will include artisan cheeses, chutneys, jams and preserves; fresh farm produce and deli goods; handmade crafts, seasonal gifts and homewares; and hot street food and festive treats.
They will be organised by Morecambe BID (Business Improvement District) and follow similar markets held in the town last Sunday, August 17, and Wednesday August 13.
“We’re proud to be bringing the Morecambe BID Community Markets back after such positive feedback in the summer," said John O'Neill, Morecambe BID manager.

"These markets are all about showcasing our local traders, bringing people into the town centre, and creating a vibrant experience for both residents and visitors. We’re especially excited to be hosting a Christmas market this year, which we know will be a real highlight.”
A BID spokesperson said: "Each market will feature a family-friendly atmosphere with entertainment and festive cheer, offering something for all ages.
"The events are designed to support independent traders, highlight the creativity and talent of local producers, and bring people together right in the heart of Morecambe.
"Morecambe BID are also very keen to feature local independent businesses from the Morecambe BID Zone. These markets are part of continuing efforts of Morecambe BID to increase visitor footfall into the town for the benefits of our local businesses.

"The Winter market (on September 27) will focus on celebrating the change of seasons, with warming street food, handmade crafts, and seasonal treats – the perfect chance to support local makers and discover something unique.
"The Christmas edition (on December 20) promises a festive showcase filled with local and unique, last-minute gift ideas, seasonal produce, and yuletide flavours. With decorations, entertainment, and plenty of Christmas atmosphere, it’s an ideal place to finish Christmas shopping and enjoy a magical day out."
Independent traders from across Lancashire and Cumbria are now invited to apply for a stall. Morecambe BID is seeking applications from artisan makers, craft and gift stalls, food producers (both hot and cold), and unique local businesses keen to be part of these community events.
For an application form, please email info@morecambebid.org.uk.
The September market will run in conjunction with the PromFest music festival, taking place in Morecambe pubs from September 26-28.
Morecambe BID is a private company that spends money raised from a levy paid by local businesses, on improvements to a specific area of the town centre.
Each business within the Morecambe BID zone in the town centre, pays 1.5 per cent of their rateable value into a funding pot once a year.
