  • Special Events for 2014

    Heaton Moor Market is very excited & proud to have been asked to be part some special events taking place later this year – we’re going “On Tour”, althoughm not very far…!

    Love Your Local Market 2014 – Stockport Old Town, Saturday 17 May 2014

    A celebration of local markets brought together in the Old Town area of Stockport.  Heaton Moor Market will be setting up along Gt Underbank for the day, with our local producers bringing their quality food, garden items, gifts & crafts for even more people to enjoy.

    Vintage Village and The Teenage Market will also be set up on the day in designated spots around the Old Town, with Stockport Market operating in the Market Place.

    Heatons Summer Festival – Heaton Moor Park, Sunday 22 June 2014

    Well, I did say we weren’t going very far……just down the road from our regular site in fact!

    The local traders association for The Heatons – the 4HTA – have organised this free festival each summer for the past 4 years. This is the 5th anniversary of the ever-popular event, and Heaton Moor Market will be taking part!

    Line-up for the day includes live music, old fashioned fair-ground stalls, funfair, sport displays, hot food from local cafes & restaurants, a Heatons Bake-off, community & local business stalls and, this year, Heaton Moor Market all set up in the park (an extra market for the month of June!).

    Whatever the weather, it is a fabulous, fun day for all the family and a great way to celebrate The Heatons.

    #HeatonsSummerFestival

    Entry to both these events is free, so come along, help support independent, local business and enjoy!

     

     

  • Market Day – March

    market march 3

    It wasn’t quite the beautiful, dry Spring day that had been forecast, but the March Heaton Moor Market brought the crowds out once again.

    We had the pleasure of welcoming a couple of new traders to our market this month – Mafeking Biltong, Salkini’s Homemade Food, Belle Chocolats and Your Pet Palace – great to be able to add more talented producers to our market.

    We missed a couple of our traders who were away this weekend, but looking forward to having them back with us next month.

    Lots of market-goers took the opportunity to enjoy the hot food available at the market this month – Hot Roast Rolls and Roast Lamb Wraps were being cooked on the rotisserie by Kro, while  Jerk Chicken, Sausages & Burgers were on the bbq from Back’s Deli.

    We very much hoped you enjoyed the market and hope to see you back next month – let us know what you think of the market and if there is anything we can improve on!

    Many thanks, Heaton Moor Market 🙂

  • Next Market – Sunday 02 March 2014

  • New # needed!!

    As I am sat at my desk starring at the pile of flyers that need to be altered to show the new day (1st Sunday of each month) and time (11:00 – 15:00) of our monthly market, I realise that we can no longer be #MarketSaturday !

    A new # is needed, yet #MarketSunday is already widely in use by other markets.

    So, I set it to you, lovely market-goers, followers and supporters – I need some ideas for a new # to reflect our new monthly positioning and set-up………..

    Much appreciated 🙂

  • Market returns Sunday 02 February 2014

    A very happy 2014 to you all and looking forward to a busy & bustling market year to come!

    Heaton Moor Market returns in it’s new monthly slot on Sunday 02 February 2014, 11:00 – 15:00.

    This year, not only will we be in our usual location on the car park of The Kushoom Koly, but we will also have stalls set up along Shaw Road itself.  As such, no vehicles will be permitted along Shaw Road, from Heaton Moor Rd to Derby Range, during the market operating times.  This will allow easier browsing & shopping space for customers to enjoy.

    As well as all our regular, much loved traders – selling everything from Farm-made cheeses, hand made pies, cheesecakes and chilli sauces; to hand made skin care, painted plant pots and jewellery – we will be welcoming some lovely new traders who are very much looking forward to bringing their locally made products to The Heatons.

    We do still have some space for a few more traders who can offer products not already available – if you have your own gazebo and all necessary insurance etc, please contact us at: hello@hmoormarket.co.uk

    We look forward to our first Sunday market of 2014 on 02 February (weather dependent)

    See you then!

     

  • Change To Sunday Market for 2014

    As of 2014, Heaton Moor Market will be changing days.  The market will no longer be on a Saturday, but will instead be held on the 1st Sunday of each month from February.  New time will be 11:00 – 15:00.

    The change is due to the market being permitted to close the top of Shaw Road, from Heaton Moor Road to Derby Range, to allow for greater space and more stalls to be set up on the road.

    All-in-all this means a bigger and better market for all – greater number & variety of stalls, more opportunity for independent, small businesses to sell & promote themselves to the local community, hot food offer from local Shaw Road businesses, and maybe even a touch of entertainment!

    We very much hope that everyone will enjoy the changes to the market and that it can become even more of a monthly event in The Heatons.

    If you would like more information, or are a business interested in a stall at the market, please contact us at: hello@hmoormarket.co.uk

     

  • #HeatonsXmas

    Xmas Festival 2013 Leaflet.inddIt is that time of year again………as the nights draw in, the weather turns colder & bleaker, there is a light on the horizon…… Christmas in The Heatons!

    As many of you will now, the November Heaton Moor Market was the last regular monthly market of 2013 – for the remainder of this year, Heaton Moor Market joins in the festive fun and becomes part of #HeatonXmas

    You will find all our stalls, with all our regular traders, bringing you the change to stock up on fresh, locally produced food for Christmas, and to buy those unique, handmade gifts.

    First event is Friday 29 November on Shaw Road, Heaton Moor. The Market will be set up and trading from 4pm and we will have santa busy in his grotto and all set for visits!  Hot food will be on offer from local Heaton Moor restaurants, and there will be local bands and school choirs to get everyone in Christmas-mode!

    On Saturday 30 November, St Thomas’s Church in Heaton Chapel has a Christmas “sing-along” with a visit from santa and The Rotary Ukelele band. There will also be some craft & gift stalls in the church for a spot of festive shopping at the same time.

    Saturday 07 December sees Heaton Moor Market at The Moor Top – all our stalls will be set up on the car park, next to the Co-op, ready to go from 11am. Santa will be back in his grotto, and there will be the much-enjoyed treasure hunt around the local shops.

    Saturday 14 December sees the last event in Heaton Mersey – on the car park of The Frog & Railway. Activities will revolve around the car park & St John’s Church, with a local school choir competition, carol singing and stalls for that last-minute Xmas shopping!

    Hope to see lots of you at these Christmas events and remember – help support local business & community by making this a Shop Local Xmas!
