Hatch has invited the team behind the successful Stretford Market to bring their sustainable market to the city centre next month.
The team will be bringing their ethical, diverse and food-focused vendors to Hatch for one day only on Saturday 6 November.
Those heading down will find stalls offering cold brew coffee, jewellery, vegan pork pies, hand-fired pottery and homemade hummus.
And that’s not all either.
There’ll also be more from West African superfood stall SACO, handmade macrame plant hangers by Knotty, homemade halloumi from Yorkshire producer Razan who moved to the UK from Syria in 2012, hand-picked vintage finds from MrsMVintage and a range of vegan, organic skincare from Latina trio Esperanza.

The market aims to champion some of the most environmentally friendly and ethical artisans and producers that are local to the Greater Manchester area.

Aiming to be an ‘every day’ market, more than 50% of the traders will be selling food, from farm-fresh to small-batch artisan produce, whether it’s sourdough, hot sauce, cakes and bakes, or even microgreens, every product traded will be sold to you by the hand that made it.
Carefully considered artisan products produced by skilled small businesses sounds like a perfect Christmas shopping opportunity to us.

Incredible vintage clothing will be on offer at the event, as well as one-of-a-kind products transformed from upcycled wood, vinyl, and fabric.
Market organisers Heather Garlick and Annika Edge said: “We hope people experience something very different at our markets which we carefully curate to be food-led, sustainable and diverse.
“We work hard to find the best craftsmanship Manchester has to offer and we’re both passionate about Manchester’s top farmers and food producers who we’ve been working with since 2015.”
The free to attend market will run from 11am – 6pm on Saturday 6 November.

Popular Manchester-founded bridal brand to host its biggest-ever sample sale THIS weekend
Daisy Jackson
A popular bridal brand that was founded here in Greater Manchester is hosting its biggest ever sample sale this weekend.
Six Stories is known for its modern bridal wear that covers everything from hen do, to getting ready pyjama sets, to the big day itself.
It’s known for its cool aesthetic, featuring clean silhouettes, slogan t-shirts, lace details, and embroidered veils.
While the contemporary bridal wear brand is stocked inside Selfridges, most of us have shopped its collections digitally.
So the Six Stories sample sale this weekend will be a chance to get hands-on with the brand, and potentially bag a real bargain.
Six Stories will host its biggest-ever sample sale in Manchester
There’ll be a wide range of items, from bridesmaid dresses to bridal accessories, on sale at the ‘best prices we’ve ever done’.
Six Stories will be filling Victoria Warehouse with thousands of fashion pieces and accessories.
It’s all taking place at the Grade II-listed former swimming baths on 16 and 17 May, between 10am and 5pm.

Mouro opens third coffee shop on Tib Street in the Northern Quarter
Daisy Jackson
South Manchester’s beloved independent coffee brand Mouro has opened its third location – and this time, they’ve headed to the Northern Quarter.
The stylish neighbourhood coffee bar has taken over a vacant unit on Tib Street, serving speciality coffee as well as sandwiches, cinnamon buns, and pastries.
The two-storey venue has been kitted out beautifully (but that’s no surprise – the team here are also behind So Marrakech in Altrincham).
There are comfy banquette seats in the window, marble and wood sunburst tables, terrazzo floors, hanging wooden lights, and all sorts of other carefully thought-out design details that set it apart from everything else in the Northern Quarter.
Outside, they’ve preserved a lot of the character of Tib Street, painting their sign directly onto the old brickwork above the door.
Mouro is already a well-established name in Heaton Moor and Altrincham, where it’s built up a loyal following for its house-roasted small-batch coffee beans.
In the Northern Quarter, you can pick up a bag of beans to take home with you – and if you do, they’ll make you a fresh coffee to take away with it.

Alongside those house blend and single-origin coffees, there’s a whole spread of cinnamon buns, including ones made with an espresso frosting (again, made with their own roasted coffee).
There are also sandwiches and other bakes to have in or take away.
Mouro will open its doors at 68 Tib Street on Saturday 16 May, with free coffees and matcha from 9am to 12pm on launch day.
Mouro will then be open Monday to Sunday, 8am to 4pm, and on Sundays from 9am to 4pm.
