This follows on from our successful campaign last summer, and we're hoping to help so many families in Stretford yet again. 
As usual there'll be a whole host of different market stalls for you to browse, this time along Broady Street, and there's sure to be something for everyone. We've got sweet treats from Beatties Bakery, gorgeous bouquets from Flower Candy, unique embroidered hoops from Hoop Doggy Dog, just to name a few!
