ON the lookout for a bargain? Then the newly refurbished Harpurhey market is the ideal place to do your weekly shop.
With a huge 35 per cent increase in stall holders over the last year alone, Harpurhey is bucking economic trends while still providing local shoppers with great value for money and a good afternoon out.
The focal point of the community, the market is always busy, and there is plenty of banter to be had from traders, many of whom have been working in Harpurhey for decades.
The market is a one-stop shop for all your essentials, from quality fruit and vegetables to roast chickens, bread, cakes, deli food, and freshly prepared meat. Everything that you need is here. Offers include women’s shoes for £5, a winter coat for £15, and jeans for £20. The market also sells flowers, pictures, CDs, jewellery, rugs, and bedding.
To top your experience off, you can enjoy a nice cup of tea and a bacon butty at one of the market’s two thriving cafés.
As well as being ideal for shoppers, Harpurhey is perfect for any kind of trader. Whether you are inexperienced and want to sell second hand goods, or an experienced hand on the look out for new opportunities, the very affordable prices at Harpurhey make it possible for anybody to become a market trader.
You only need public liability insurance, two proofs of address, and picture Identification.
In addition to the regular stalls you would expect from a traditional market like Harpurhey, there is also an extremely popular mixed market day on a Thursday. House clearances, bric-a-brac, second hand goods and clothes and good quality cheap furniture are all there for the taking - with a bit of rummaging.
First established in 1974, the market has recently gone through a renaissance after moving from its old site on Conran Street to a new, purpose built market hall five years ago.
Centrally located in the new Harpurhey shopping centre, the market is complemented by popular High Street brands including Asda, Specsavers and Subway, and is flanked by the popular North City library.
The new glass building is water and weather proof, providing protection and warmth to shoppers and traders in all types of conditions. You can still enjoy a cup of tea at Harpurhey Market, even when it’s snowing.
Mixed Markets
Harpurhey Market holds a mixed market of both second-hand and new goods on Thursdays between 9am and 4pm, and there is a trial mixed market on a Wednesday.
