The Monastery Makers Market

Experience the  Makers Market at the Majestic Gorton Monastery!

Twice a year, we host our Makers Market at the breath taking Gorton Monastery. This architectural gem, with its stunning Gothic Revival design, provides a truly unique shopping experience. Most of our talented traders set up their stalls in the awe-inspiring Great Nave, while some can be found in the welcoming reception area.

Gorton Monastery, built in the 19th century, is a masterpiece of architecture and history. Originally a Franciscan friary, it has been lovingly restored to its former glory and now serves as a magnificent venue for events. The soaring arches, intricate stonework, and serene atmosphere make it a perfect backdrop for discovering that one-of-a-kind item or the perfect gift for someone special.

Come and explore the Makers Market at Gorton Monastery – where history, beauty, and creativity come together in perfect harmony.
