Penwortham, Mini Market

19/11/2024

On Tuesday the 19th November I was vending at Penwortham Mini Market. This market runs every second Tuesday of the month. There was a large selection of venders from wood based crafts, kniting and crochet decorations, candles, skincar and personalised work. Although this market was a quieter weekday market, it is set in a central community center and is open 11:00 - 15:00. The next market here will be on the 17th December, I do also believe there are a couple of opening for venders. If you would like to vend please pop me an email and I will forward you details on.
