An international market is set to return to Carlisle later this month.

The market, in the city centre, will be held between Thursday August 24 and Monday August 28.

Organised by Market Place Europe, the award-winning market is supported by Cumberland Council and will include a selection of arts, crafts, unique gifts and local traders.

Stalls will be open

  • Thursday August 24: 9am – 6pm.
  • Friday August 25: 9am – 6pm.
  • Saturday August 26: 9am – 6pm.
  • Sunday August 27: 10am – 5pm.
  • Bank Holiday Monday, August 28: 10am – 5pm.

For food lovers, there will be continental and international flavours to sample, including Spanish paella, Greek gyros, a new Greek vegan deli, Chinese, Indian, Polish, German, and other exotic street foods. There will also be a great selection of fresh foods including olives, British cheeses and chutneys, cakes, salami and pick and mix sweets.

The Box Bar will also be on site serving cold beers and other drinks.

Green fingered shoppers will not be disappointed either as the market will include popular Dutch plant seller with an array of shrubs, plants, trees and bulbs.

Andy Pidgen Market Place Europe’s operations manager, said: “Carlisle is a special place for Market Place Europe and the warm welcome we receive from local people and visitors alike is always amazing, it’s always great that so many local Carlisle and Cumbrian traders join us alongside our fantastic international traders, there is always something for everyone to enjoy at this fantastic market in the wonderful city of Carlisle.”

An ancient proclamation will be recited at the Market Cross on Saturday, August 26 at 10am. The proclamation is a declaration of Carlisle’s rights to hold an annual fair in August, originally granted to the citizens of the city in 1352 by Edward III.

A procession including the mayor of Carlisle Abdul Harid, the chair of Cumberland Council Carni McCarron-Holmes, sword and mace bearers and other civic dignitaries will make its way from St Cuthbert’s Church to the Market Cross in the city centre.
