Sound like more your kind of thing? Well read on...
ManBeeCo has been a regular stall holder at Castlefield Market in Manchester this year and was delighted to be invited to be a trader there at the #OffTheHighStXmasMkt for the Christmas Market season.
This busy monthly market is housed indoors inside the beautiful old Upper Campfield building on the corner of Deansgate & Liverpool Road in Manchester.

| The Castlefield Market / Upper Campfield entrance shares an old Victorian Arcade with Instituto Cervantes, Dimitris and Don Marco restaurants on the corner of Deansgate / Liverpool Road in Manchester,opposite the Beetham Tower. |

| Just up the road from the Museum of Science & Industry and a 2 minute walk from the Deansgate Metrolink stop |
The building springs to life on the 1st Saturday of each month with a wonderfully eclectic mix of local Makers and Traders with everything from vintage treasure,vinyl and collectables stalls to jewellery, cakes,craft, furniture & homewares,fresh produce,hot food stalls and ManBeeCo (of course!)

The Market trading hours are: Friday 10am to 8pm

| Great crowd at the 1st #OffTheHighStXmasMkt weekend market |
The Upper Campfield doors stay wide open after trading ends at 8pm, with Craft Beer by Salford lads Seven Bro7hers still flowing and continues till late with DJ's such as Jamie El Muerto playing. It reminds me of when the original Friday Food Fight was here earlier in the year and there is no entry fee.

| The calm before the storm... |
A bunch of hot food stalls serve up a great mix of street food including Wrapscallion and the Fabulous Burger Boys who grill to please, serving massive burgers and Dirty Dogs.(Find them on Twitter: @SEVENBRO7HERS and @FabBurgerBoys)
