Free Sunday market with handcrafted goods and unique gifts from local designers, makers and artists at Southsea Castle.
Southsea Castle hosts another Sunday Makers Market this Sunday 25 October, from 11:00 am to 3:30 pm. It's a gathering of local designers, makers and artists, with handcrafted goods, unique gifts and creative treasures to look through in a family-friendly atmosphere. The organisers say the markets are a Portsmouth mainstay and let visitors get closer to the artists, bakers and creatives who live and work in the city.
The market is staged by Southsea Castle, which is a free historical attraction open from April to October each year. The courtyard stays open year-round, and from there you can look across to the Isle of Wight and the Solent, explore the keep and eat in The Courtyard, which serves brunch and Sunday roasts all day. If you're coming for the market, you can easily make a day of it by combining the stalls with a walk around the castle grounds.
There's a bit more going on across the city right now, too. Portsmouth is celebrating 100 years as a city, with exhibitions and community arts projects marking the centenary, including We Are Portsmouth - A Community Arts Project. If you're in town for the market, it's a good time to see what else is on as part of the anniversary.
