Taking over Stevenson Square on the second Sunday of each month, the small but busy Northern Quarter Makers Market features artists, designers, upcyclers, plant sellers and more. Strong on food and drink (this is the Northern Quarter, after all), you’ll find baked goods, cupcakes, plus artisanal beers and spirits to take away – as well as a handful street food vendors, with seating and tables available and DJs (usually Pasta Paul) on hand too.

Trading hours are 11am until 5pm.
