New artisan market to launch in Leith

This Saturday will see the grand opening of an artisan market in Leith.

The home of the latest addition to Edinburgh's port's shopping scene will be the Dock Place car park at the Shore. Goodies on offer include street food, locally-grown produce, original artwork and creative crafts.

Leith resident Beth Berry came up with the idea for the new market following similar ventures in Stockbridge and the Grassmarket, both of which have become local institutions. Her latest venture has been two years in the making.

Berry has strict rules when it comes to what her traders sell - they have to have made it, grown it or imported it themselves. Her main aim is for market goers to enjoy a better shopping experience than they'd have at their local supermarket.

There'll initially be around 20 stalls, but this could rise to up to 50 as the market becomes more established.

Leith Market will be open every Saturday, all year round.

Leith Market, Dock Place car park, Leith, every Saturday starting Saturday July 11, 10am-5pm.
