THINK BIG SHOP SMALL
Independent Street organises a series of monthly and one off events alongside councils, business groups, large corporate clients and communities. We provide a platform for small businesses to showcase to their local community.
On Sunday 19th July 2026, Independent Street Artisan Markets officially arrived in Ashton-under-Lyne for the very first time—and what an unforgettable launch it was.
Lisa Cowley, developed the Independent Street brand after seven years experience in the industry.
With more than 10 years’ market experience Independent Street organises award winning monthly and one-off events alongside councils, business groups, large corporate clients and communities.
Independent Street champions local independent businesses and produce. We aim to provide a platform for small businesses to showcase to their local community.
It is a superb opportunity to find out the origins of your food, meet our makers and bakers, feast your eyes upon some goodies and fill those shopping bags whilst indulging in some good old conversations with our team and traders.
Our markets are full of creativity, great food, collectibles and unique products created by makers who are as passionate about what they do as we are.
It is a privilege to represent these amazing small businesses. We hope you can join us soon!
