Preston Markets has more to offer this September with the expansion of two popular stalls, a brand-new clothes stall, and the addition of a monthly craft fair which is set to start soon.
Following the expansion and relocation of an original Preston Markets café, Brew + Bake, the prominent location has recently been filled by Nurcan’s cafe and ice cream shop.
The Market Jewellers, also located within the Market Hall, has revamped and expanded its stall – adding a piercing studio – which is due to open later this month.

Mark Beck, Preston Markets Manager, said: “I am really looking forward to the Preston Market Craft Fair.
“It’s an exciting opportunity for residents and visitors who I’m sure will come down and support all the stall holders. Managed by events team SPG Events, the model has already proved its success in a number of other locations.”
