A new monthly market is launching in Failsworth this weekend following a successful Christmas pop-up last year.
Organised by the Pop-Up Market Co, which runs similar events in Manchester city centre, Withington, and Rawtenstall, the event will be taking place once a month until Christmas.
It will be taking place at the Hubron car park, located just a short walk away from the Tesco on Albion Street, from 11 am to 4 pm on Sunday.
The organisers have been sharing updates of the event on social media and around Failsworth, where signs have been installed near the site.
Pop-Up Market Co wrote on Facebook: "We’ll be bringing some incredible traders along, serving up some of the best pies, cakes, sausage rolls and more to feast your eyes upon. Into arts and crafts? Well with unique jewellery, quirky prints and crochet to admire, there’s something for everyone.
"With tunes flowing all day thanks to our talented musician Alex Lewis, get your toes tapping around the market on Sunday, July 26.
"Keep the kids entertained over by Curious Fox Arts, Louise puts on the most fabulous workshops at the markets and we can’t wait to see what she has in store for our launch event!"

The new addition to the Failsworth events calendar has been welcomed by the community.
Cllr Sandra Ball said: "It’s brilliant to see local businesses and community organisers working together to bring more events, footfall and community spirit into Failsworth."
Tom Clayton, the operations director at Hubron, where the event is taking place, said: "We’re proud to play a small part in helping positive local initiatives happen and to give something back to the area that has been our home for generations."
