FEATURED | A brand-new artisan market is all set to arrive in Upton upon Severn

A brand-new artisan market is all set to arrive in Upton upon Severn.

The market takes place on Friday, 23 August and Saturday, 24 August, from 10am until 4pm, along the waterside in Upton upon Severn, and is free entry.

The new event, created by Upton Traders Group, is supported by Malvern Hills District Council and operated by C.J Events.

The market will showcase a wide range of independent makers and artists, with their handmade arts and crafts.

Stall holders include acrylic gifts, handcrafted sterling silver jewellery, hand knitted socks made on a Victorian socks machine, 100% natural candles in ornate recycled pots and cups, handmade gifts and artwork using beachcombed materials, and much more.

Cllr Martin Allen, Ward Member for Upton upon Severn, at Malvern Hills District Council said: “We are really pleased to have a brand-new market in Upton, and all being well, we hope to run monthly markets here to help increase footfall. We have obtained a temporary road closure alongside part of waterside to encourage more people to enjoy the town and to allow for regular markets.”

Annie Potts from Upton Emporium said: “I am so looking forward to there being a market on a regular basis here in Upton. It’s something that I personally have been trying to organise for a long time now and I am sure it will be a great success. All credit to Rebecca Probert, Town Centre Support Officer at Malvern Hills District Council, she has been brilliant!”
