I tried the Salford Quays Maker's Market - it was brilliant!

Last weekend, I went down to The Quayside Media City Maker’s Market after seeing a ton of posts about it on social media and it certainly lived up to the hype!

There was so much on offer here that I could hardly believe it.

You could get everything from giant pies to potted plants as well as ornate jewellery and vintage clothes.

One of the best things about the market, is that it’s relatively hidden away and so you’re not going to get masses of queues and people, allowing you to walk around leisurely.

The talent and craftsmanship is really something to behold, there was some amazing artwork and jewellery which I felt tempted to buy.

After walking around the stalls searching for the best sweet treat (believe me, it was very hard to make this decision), I landed on a Biscoff NY Style Cookie and a Pistachio Millionaire White Choc Blondie from Baked By Nicola.

These were £3.50 each and both delicious!
