Continental market back in town

Last year shoppers in Leyland enjoyed the tastes and crafts of continental Europe and this weekend sees the return of the popular continental market.

It is a veritable feast for foodies and anyone else who fancies trying something a bit different but there's plenty for traditional tastes too.

The market will be in town from Friday 25th April until Sunday 27th. The town's own market will also be open throughout the event. We would encourage residents from Leyland and beyond to support both the local and international traders and help make Leyland a vibrant shopping centre.

Also this weekend there's a chance for families to exercise their own craft skills at the Spring Arts and Crafts Fair at Worden Arts Centre. Activities to learn or have a go at include, on Saturday, card making, sun catchers, water colour painting, and Raku -painting and firing a pot and on Sunday flags, kite making, paper craft, post cards, and even circus skills.

There will also be items for sale by local artists in glassware, mosaics, jewellery, cards and original paintings. We hope you will support them.
