Linlithgow Artisan Market returns to the High Street

This weekend will see the long-awaited return of the popular Linlithgow Market, thanks to a grant obtained by One Linlithgow from the Scotland Loves Local Fund. 

The Fund is designed to build the wealth of local communities, revitalise local places, town centres, or 20-minute neighbourhoods; increasing footfall and activity by encouraging communities to ‘think, choose and love local’. 

In partnership with JSG Management, we aim to offer an artisan market with a local flavour and we are excited to be joined at the first market by several local businesses. They will be joined by others from across Scotland to offer a wide selection of produce, food, drink, arts, crafts and artisan goods. 

The market will be located at The Vennel and will occur on the first Saturday of every month. You can follow the Linlithgow Artisan Market Facebook page to keep up-to-date with news and learn more about the various vendors. 

By introducing a new monthly event, we aim to attract more visitors and increase footfall to the town and local businesses along the High Street.  

It is also an excellent opportunity for local businesses to showcase their products at the market with the hire of the stalls subsidised by One Linlithgow.
