Market Details and Offerings
According to a spokesman for Brindleyplace, the market "blends the best of vinyl culture with arts and crafts." Visitors can expect to discover great music, meet passionate traders, and explore a mix of creative, handcrafted pieces. The event is free to attend and is part of a series of markets planned for the venue.
In addition to the Record and Makers Market, an Artisan Market will take place on Thursday, August 27, offering fresh breads, cakes, sauces, drinks, and unique gifts such as paintings, prints, ceramics, and skincare products.
Fountain Maintenance and Other Events
