  • Shop Local this Christmas

    It’s been a wonderful year for Heaton Moor Market – back in February, we closed the top half of Shaw Road to traffic on market day for the first time, enabling more amazing traders to join us and make the market safer for customers – nice to be able to wander around a larger area without the worry of those cars speeding down the road!
    Local support has grown & grown, and it has been just great to see so many people enjoying the market, the products on offer and chatting with traders.

    The aim behind the market has been to provide a place for small, independent businesses to be able to sell directly to the public, to encourage more people to the Heatons to see all the wonderful shops, bars & restaurants we have, and importantly, to promote the shop local message.

    As it is coming to the end of the year and the last market for 2014 is approaching on Sunday 07 December, we would like to encourage everyone to continue to support local businesses by shopping and dining local this Christmas – let’s keep it in The Heatons 😉

    Gifts & Food

    A few ideas for Christmas gift & food shopping:

    • Pokusevski’s – great place to buy fresh cheeses, pies, olives, cured meats and more……also perfect for those gift hampers

  • Heaton Moor Market goes to Town…….

    May sees something new for Heaton Moor Market – we are holding an additional market, not at our usual Shaw Road site, but in Stockport Old Town.

    We are proud to have been asked to be part of the Love You Local Market event taking place on Saturday 17 May – Heaton Moor Market will be setting up along Great Underbank, with many of your favourite stalls from the regular monthly market.

    If you’ve already run out of produce bought at the May market, or have some gift-items in mind that you’ve had your eye on, come down to Stockport and enjoy this event – full details below:

  • Next Market – Sunday 02 March 2014

    The weeks are passing quickly already and it is nearly time for the March Heaton Moor Market.  That also means that we should be getting closer to better weather and lighter days, and hopefully an end to these awful winds that have caused so much destruction to local areas, and so much disruption to local markets!

    March sees a fully booked market with plenty of locally produced, fresh food; crafts and gifts – don’t forget, it’s Mother’s Day at the end of March, so use this opportunity to buy something handmade & unique.

    Hot food will be available again, which we hope you will enjoy while you spend time at the market, or pop in to one of the local cafes or restaurants and make the most of #HeatonsSunday.
