In 2010, market traders from York's Newgate and Farmers Markets are upping roots on the THIRD FRIDAY OF EACH MONTH from March to July and setting up stalls at Monks Cross Shopping Centre.

The Monks Cross Shopping markets will be a living advert of the quality and diversity of stalls that can be found in the regular Newgate Market place. Around 30 traders will be present at each market to show off their wares and demonstrating the diversity and excitement that markets can add to the shopping environment.

Dates for your diary

Two of the planned markets in 2010 fall outside the 'third Friday in each month' but should be noted in diaries and on calendars as they will also bring something new to the shopping centre. Over the August bank holiday weekend - 27th to 30th August - Monks Cross will host the 'Mamma Mia Italian Market' and the Christmas market will trade from 9th to 12th December.

The Monks Cross markets last year proved to be a valued and vibrant place to shop and with introducing a specific monthly date, we are sure that our current and new visitors will find Monks Cross an even better place to visit.
