Special events
Liverpool plays host to a wide variety of speciality markets each year. Traders come to the city from across the world, and each market brings with it a unique atmosphere and shopping experience. Owing to the specialist nature of such markets, some are not as regular as the markets listed below.
Please view the table below for the full list of all markets planned for the year ahead.
Continental
Liverpool plays host to the Continental market three times per year, welcoming traders from Belgium, Sweden, Germany, France, Holland and Spain to display their fresh produce within an authentic setting.
2008 is the year where the Continental market becomes the International Street Market, with more nationalities, more crafts and more foods. The passion of Markets specialists Geraud Markets Liverpool Ltd has resulted in an even bigger, better and more diverse Market offer.
Produce available on International market day includes fresh bread and pastries, confectionary, cheeses, speciality meats and hot dishes, original woodwork, plants, bags and much more! The International Markets will be based in Lord Street, Liverpool City Centre. The next International Market is to be held on 12-15 June 2008.
Farmers
Liverpool's Farmers Markets are a recent addition to the speciality markets which take place throughout the year, but already they are a big success. There are a number of Farmers Market days, operating across the City, all selling fresh produce from local North West farmers and producers.
With a wide variety of stalls selling fresh Fruit and vegetables, as well as meats, fish, cheeses, bread, pastries, cakes and organic produce, this great opportunity to meet local producers and sample a wide range of foods produced locally from across the North West.
