New artisan market launches at Portland Square
A brand-new Food & Makers Market is launching at the recently refurbished Portland Square this September.
The market will officially open on Saturday 20 September 2025 from 9am, marking a vibrant new chapter for the town centre. Featuring a diverse mix of traders, visitors can expect delicious street food, handmade gifts, local crafts, and much more.
