Nearly two years after its closure, a new monthly artisan day and night market is set to open in Levenshulme this spring.
Manchester City Council and Independent Street known for its successful events around the Northwest have collaborated to bring a new market offering on the former, much loved Levy Market site from April 2025.
The new market which will be known as Levy Artisan Market will bring freshly baked produce, independent food stalls, and unique artisan products to the already vibrant area of Levenshulme.
Levy Artisan Market will launch on Sunday 13th April and will take place the second Sunday of every month. There will also be an exciting night market on the last Friday of every month from 25th April 25.
The monthly Sunday Artisan Markets at Levy will offer family-focused events, from live entertainment and children’s workshops to food tastings and cultural celebrations, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
The monthly Friday Night Markets will offer a newly designed food court area with a large selection of some of the best street food in town, plus live music, good vibes and a large seating area for you to kick back, relax and welcome in the weekend.
The Levy Artisan Market is set to showcase Manchester’s rich tapestry of Artisans and creators and serve as a catalyst for driving footfall into Levenshulme’s established shops, cafes, restaurants and independents. It will once again continue to emphasise supporting small businesses and providing a space for entrepreneurs to thrive.
The previous market closed down after a dispute between the stall holders and Manchester Council in the summer of 2023 over the site license agreement
To celebrate the launch, Levy Artisan Market will be hosting a grand opening event on Sunday April 13th, featuring live music performances, incredible artisans, a street food area plus a free crafting table and activities for the smallest of our visitors. The event will run from 11am and everyone is invited to join in.
