Castle Street is set to host an independent festive market on Saturday 25 November, from 11am until 3pm.

The temporary market will host no less than 40 traders, offering food, Christmas decorations, gifts, and more. There will even be live music and face painting.

The market is organised by Worker Bee Markets, which hosts similar events across Stockport. The organisation hand-picks its makers and traders 'bespoke for local communities'. In other words, priority is given mainly to traders who are local - from seasoned marketers to talented hobbyists.

Visitors can expect '[the] best artisan and local produce' and 'quality handmade goods'. Think Edgeley's temporary markets in May and August of this year, but with a festive twist!

Further still, to get Edgeley feeling still more festive, a lights switch-on will take place on 23 November from 4-8pm near the Greek Street roundabout.

The switch-on will feature a silver band, fairground rides, food, and even Santa Claus himself. Stockport County players Ethan Pye and Myles Hippolyte will also be making an appearance!
