Louise Canny, the businesswoman behind Artisan Fridays, has been given the go-ahead to launch a monthly Saturday event.
‘Artisan Fridays On A Saturday ' will be on the last Saturday of each month, starting on April 24 when lockdown restrictions are expected to be lifted across Scotland.

Louise was inspired after seeing a charity shop setting up a stall with second-hand books. That led to a stall full of bath bombs outside her shop which proved to a huge hit, and led to the launch of Artisan Fridays.
The vibrant, colourful pink gazebos have added colour to the street, and brought a host of food, drink and craft businesses into the heart of the town.
It has proved to be a huge hit with shoppers - and the addition of a Saturday market will help footfall during the weekend.

She said: “I have been busy behind the scenes to find ways to expand the Artisan Fridays market.
“After much groundwork I have been granted a new licence to include Saturdays. So, we will be operating on the last Saturday of every month starting on Saturday, April 24, when lockdown restrictions lift in Scotland. “
