Newcastle-under-Lyme will celebrate the craftsmanship of Staffordshire with a special Made in Staffordshire market this week.

The market will be taking over the Stones on Wednesday (28 October) from 9am to 3pm, bringing together 15 businesses from across the county.

Delivered in partnership with Newcastle-under-Lyme BID, We Are Staffordshire's Made in Staffordshire programme and Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council's Markets team, the showcase will feature art, jewellery, pottery, crafts, food and drink.

The visiting businesses will trade alongside regular market traders and a free Halloween craft workshop will be available for younger visitors.

Ailsa Nicol, Made in Staffordshire Programme Lead, said: "Partnerships like those with Newcastle-under-Lyme BID and the Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council market are invaluable.

"They allow us to bring Made in Staffordshire businesses directly into the heart of our communities, creating opportunities to connect with new customers, support local businesses to reach new audiences, and contribute to vibrant town centre experiences for residents and visitors alike.

"By working together, we can showcase the breadth of talent, products and services available across Staffordshire while helping to strengthen our local economy and high streets."

Made in Staffordshire champions businesses that design, create and produce in the county.
