A street market will be held in Morecambe town centre next month and local traders are invited to get involved.
The Morecambe Local Street Market will take place on Wednesday August 13 and Sunday August 17 on Market Street, Euston Road and New Town Square.
The market is organised by Morecambe BID (Business Improvement District) and will showcase a variety of artisan goods, local produce, crafts, and food stalls, alongside children’s entertainment.
The BID said "these special trial dates are designed to draw visitors into these key streets, supporting local businesses and creating a lively, welcoming atmosphere throughout the town".
They said, in a move to encourage as many businesses as possible to get involved, trading is completely free for all stallholders on these two dates.
"We really want to give local traders a platform to shine, while also attracting footfall from the Promenade and bringing people deeper into key town centre streets like Market Street and Euston Road," said John O’Neill, Morecambe BID manager.
"These trial markets will help us determine the best approach going forward and give us valuable insight into what works best for traders and visitors alike."
Spaces are limited and are expected to fill quickly. Traders interested in taking part are encouraged to get in touch as soon as possible to secure their free pitch.
