It is run by Louise Canny, who owns Eloise, and is in response to many people asking for a weekend event.
Artisan Fridays on Saturday market will be open to businesses in the food and drink sector as well as arts and crafts.
It will feature the same bright pink gazebos which will be placed in front of the empty shops to bring some much needed colour and activity to the pedestrianised zone.

The launch of a second market is another step forward for the town centre as it emerges from a year in lockdown.

The Friday market originally launched in November 2019, and its traders have become a familiar site in the pedestrianised zone.
It has been widely credited for giving people a reason to visit after a raft of big retail names closed their doors – and its return as lockdown restrictions eased was warmly welcomed.

"We couldn’t do it without the support of each person who visits the Artisan Fridays market.”
