THE award-winning Independent Street is set to return to the iconic Southport Market Hall this Saturday (1 August 2026), bringing a superb Artisan Market to both the historic indoor market and the surrounding streets.
The popular monthly event will showcase a fantastic selection of independent traders, artisan food producers and talented makers, offering visitors the opportunity to discover unique handmade gifts, homeware, crafts, locally produced food and drink, local honey, hand-raised pies and much more.
