Make a diary date for Hartlepool's monthly Maritime Market

The event, which returned earlier this year following the easing of coronavirus restrictions, takes place from 9.30am-3pm at Jackson Dock, Maritime Avenue, on Saturday, June 26.

A wide range of goods is expected to be on offer, including speciality tea, artisan gin and vodka, clothing, jewellery and collectables as well as Chinese and Indian street food.

Market operator Fiona Harnett said: "We are looking for another busy, sunny day, with loads of people shopping and enjoying it.

"There’s loads of new traders as well, because loads of people have been taking up loads of hobbies over the lockdown.

“There’s a lot more crafters and bakers, so there’s lots of exciting new stalls.

"It’s getting bigger and better each time.”

The market started in April 2019 before it stopped for more than a year following the outbreak of coronavirus in March last year.
