Barrow's first-themed outdoor market of the year is set to take place next week. 

Barrow Outdoor Spring Market will see local traders offering an array of home-made crafts, produce and gifts.

The outdoor stall holders will be joining Barrow Market Hall’s 20-plus traders to showcase independent businesses and encourage people to shop locally.

Jacqui Armstrong, Barrow Market's manager, said: "It is going to be a great day of local independent shopping at Barrow Markets.

"We are appealing to our community to support our traders so that we can bring more monthly markets to Barrow town centre in the future.

"We have a fabulous mix of traders attending the Spring Market offering tasty selections of cheese, locally produced honey, handmade jewellery, candles, wax melts, bath and home products, pretty hair accessories, delicious home-baked cakes, toys, along with hot takeaway food and beverages.

"We are delighted to welcome the Coffee D’ash mobile coffee pod, Mcmunchies burger van, The South Lakes Honey Company, cake makers Yummy Delicious, Kick Ass Cheese, Bellyboy Blacksmith, Flicker Handmade By Lisa, Just Wuf, The Fabowlous Boutique, Flora and Luna, Christine’s Kitchen, Toys Galore and The Old Smithy Fish and Chip Van.

"Barrow AFC and their mascot Bluey will also be attending."

The event will take place on Friday 26 April from 10am until 4pm.
