AN artisan crafts and food fair is set to return for its latest visit to Carlisle's city centre. 

Quirky Eclectica is set to unite local businesses at its market stall event which is due to take place in Carlisle on Saturday, August 17. 

The crafts and food fair is the brainchild of Ashley Walker, owner of resin jewellery, homeware, and accessories business All Things Nice By Ashley, as well as Manor Barn Organics' Tracey Lindsay.

Speaking previously, Ashley expressed her aim for the monthly fair to continue growing.

She said: "We are so proud of ourselves for getting it started and we are just going to keep going and going. If we could get loads more people and have the city centre covered that would be so good, we are dreaming big."

The fair is set to take place every month for the rest of 2024, with Ashley and Tracey also set to host their 'Quriky Christmas at The Fratry' event at Carlisle Cathedral at the end of November.
