Levenshulme, known as an up-and-coming area of Manchester, just a short journey on the train from Piccadilly, is set to welcome back a market offering, just two years after the beloved original Levy Market ceased operation. Manchester City Council and Independent Street, known for its successful events around the North West, have collaborated to bring a new market offering on the former, much loved Levy Market site, known as Levy Artisan Market.
Levy Artisan Market will bring freshly baked produce, independent food stalls, and unique artisan products to the already vibrant area of Levenshulme. Launching on Sunday 13th April, the market will take place on the second Sunday of every month, alongside an exciting night market on the last Friday of every month from 25th April.
The monthly Sunday Artisan Market at Levy will offer family-focused events, from live entertainment and children’s workshops to food tastings and cultural celebrations, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
The monthly Friday Night Markets will offer a newly designed food court area with a large selection of some of the best street food in town, plus live music, good vibes and a large seating area for people to kick back, relax and welcome in the weekend.
Councillor Garry Bridges, Deputy Leader of Manchester City Council, said: “Levy Market has been a long standing and much-loved institution for the local community and its traders, imbued a rich heritage and an asset which has set foundations for other markets to thrive.
“We are really proud to welcome Independent Street’s Artisan Levy Market onto the site, the end product of a collaborative approach to bring a new market offering to the people of Levenshulme.”

The Levy Artisan Market is set to showcase Manchester’s wide range of artisans and creators and serve as a catalyst for driving footfall into Levenshulme’s established shops, cafes, restaurants and independents. It will once again continue to emphasise supporting small businesses and providing a space for entrepreneurs to thrive.
To celebrate the launch, Levy Artisan Market will be hosting a grand opening event on Sunday April 13th, featuring live music performances, incredible artisans, a street food area plus a free crafting table and activities for its smallest visitors. The event will run from 11am and everyone is invited to join in.
