A Glimpse into the Future

As we eagerly anticipate this momentous market launch, let's not forget Blackburn with Darwen council's broader plans for the town's future.

These efforts will breathe new life into the town centre and create exciting opportunities for local businesses.

Save the dates for the upcoming markets: September 9th and October 14th. Each market promises an unmissable experience filled with creativity, community spirit, and local charm.

Let's make history at the Darwen Artisan Market, celebrating the brilliance of our community's talent and entrepreneurship.
