Summer Market at St George's Hall calling for traders

Liverpool is set to welcome a new market next month, and it’s going to take place in one of the city’s most iconic locations.

St George’s Hall will play host to the inaugural market on Sunday, June 16, offering a platform for local traders to showcase their goods.

Traders are now being sought to participate in this exciting event, which will feature stalls both inside and outside the historic hall.

The council’s markets team is particularly interested in craft and artisanal traders, offering opportunities for those selling clothing, accessories, jewelry, and a variety of food and drink items.

Hot food vendors are welcome, but they will be situated exclusively at the outside stalls.

Approximately 70 tables will be available inside St George’s Hall, while around 20 stalls outside will cater to food vendors, positioned on the Lime Street corner of the plateau.

Charges for stalls are:

Indoor – £60 + VAT
Outdoor – £70 + VAT
Outdoor stalls selling hot food – £80 + VAT

Applications are now open. Traders should email liverpoolmarkets@liverpool.gov.uk with their contact details and information on what they would like to sell.

Cllr Harry Doyle, Cabinet Member for Health, Wellbeing and Culture, said:

“We’re delighted that this summer we will be trialling a new market in Liverpool’s cultural quarter in such a well-loved and iconic building as St George’s Hall.

“The outside of the Hall and St John’s Gardens have been a great venue for the Christmas markets for the past few years and now we’re looking forward to using both the inside and the outside at a different point in the calendar. We’re confident that traders will get a real boost from having it as a backdrop to their businesses.

“So if you’re a trader please apply and help us make this first event a success!”

The deadline for applications is Friday, 31 May.

Going forward it is planned that the St George’s Hall Market will be held four times a year on a seasonal basis.

The market, which will be free to the public, will be open from 10.30am-4.40pm.

Liverpool is home to a well-established markets offer, from the weekly Great Homer Street Market to a regular programme of farmers’ and craft markets.
