Sundays at Manchester Craft and Design Centre

NEW OPENING HOURS

11am - 5pm on the 2nd Sunday of the month

Manchester Craft and Design Centre

We will be opening on the 2nd Sunday of the month in conjunction with the relocation of the Northern Quarter Maker’s Market!

Visitors can browse and buy from our makers in person, see the products being made, commission something special, or simply relax and take in the beautiful surroundings of our Victorian market building. Our two floors of maker studios create and sell jewellery, ceramics, homeware, textiles, artwork and much more.

Our new cafe BQ Bitesize will also be open, serving hot roast sandwiches, soup of the day, doughnuts and pastries, breakfast butties, artisan coffee, and quality wines, cheese & charcuterie.

If you fancy getting creative yourself, there will be craft activities for all the family to enjoy throughout the day. All abilities are welcome to our informal craft drop-in sessions, including weaving, communal drawing and model-making.

The Northern Quarter Makers Market, also running on the second Sunday of every month, features an expansive range of art, craft, coffee, baked goods, music and street food as well as hundreds of traders offering an eclectic variety of wares.

We will be open from 11am – 5pm so head down to the Northern Quarter, soak up the atmosphere and see what you can find!
