Last Saturday I visited the Clarke Gardens Christmas Farmers and Crafters Market alongside Liverpool Council Leader Liam Robinson and Springwood Councillor Kimberley Berry. It is always good to support local producers, especially on the run up to Christmas, and despite the freezing cold weather many had turned out as always to showcase their products.

Kimberley helped champion the market alongside former Cllr Sharon Connor and it’s fantastic to see it going from strength to strength with regular dates throughout the year. It’s also a great place to pick up a few unique gifts for friends and family at this time of year.
