We have a little announcement to make... After a great deal of deliberation, we have sadly decided we can no longer continue the Tuesday Local Market in Colwyn Bay and will instead focus on Saturday as the primary market day in the town. Since taking over the depleting market in early 2020, it's been one hurdle after another! With the likes of a pandemic, the council offices remaining partly closed creating significantly less lunchtime trade, and now the effects of the high c

It was a jolly old time had by all on Saturday's Artisan Market! There was good old-fashioned seaside fun in an abundance - I think the adults enjoyed the Punch & Judy as much as the kids - and the fabulous live music playing for us all day was the cherry on the cake! With hula hooping, puppets, balloons and an animation workshop there was plenty to keep us entertained and as always the Artisan stalls were an absolute shoppers delight and thanks to those traders who embraced

Our Vegan pop-up market was a roaring success! Shoppers came from far and wide to enjoy the many beautiful stalls selling everything from vegan cheese, cakes and candles to artisan arts and crafts along side our regular Colwyn Bay Local Market. It was a beautiful day with plenty to enjoy at the market and with the Prom Xtra event happening down on the seafront the streets of Colwyn Bay were truly alive and kicking! In association with 'Eat Out Vegan Wales' and 'No Animals Wer

Huge thanks to every one of you for spending your Easter S

Christmas has well and truly arrived and what a fabulous (yet challenging) end to our Colwyn Bay Artisan Markets we all had on Saturday! The weather was definitely not our friend with heavy wind and rain at times and there were moments where we thought we’d all end up somewhere over the rainbow!

Such a fun day on Saturday's Artisan Market in Colwyn Bay! What a delight to see Artisans sharing their love of what they do, joyful children covered in chalk, chasing bubbles, families and friends united and enjoying their time together and happy shoppers discovering unique gifts & crafts.

So it didn't feel much like August this artisan market day but what we lacked in sunshine, we certainly made up for in spirit as the atmosphere shone brighter than the weather! It was such a fun day with the added entertainment of chalk pavement art and live music and we were delighted to see so many of you come out to shop, drink and take part in the festivities in Colwyn Bay despite the rain and drizzle! So many gorgeous doggies came out to play too, we've added a few of ou

So Saturday’s Artisan Market was our 1 year anniversary and what a difference a year makes! We launched this time last year with 12 stalls, it was cold, grey and bucketed with rain from beginning to end! One year on and we had 63 stalls, blistering sunshine and nearly 30 degrees heat! We’ve still not been able to put on the kind of event we always intended with live music and entertainment (I think we all know why!) But we’re just so happy that, in this difficult and strange

Well that was a whole lotta fun!! Such a great day was had by all on Saturday’s Artisan Market with giant smiles and bulging shopping bags all round The wood laser workshop proved incredibly popular with plenty of participants taking away their very own personalised gift and Rollergirl ‘Annykinz’ spread the sparkle and giggles with her effervescent spirit and festival fun. We’ll see you all for more of the same in Colwyn Bay on July 17th #colwynbay #colwynbayartisanmarket #co

What a beautiful day we all had yesterday! Colwyn Bay was well and truly in bloom and the shoppers came out in their droves to enjoy and support the Artisan Market.
