Granby Street Market, found in <a aria-label=\"\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/all-about\/toxteth\" rel=\"follow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"\">Toxteth<\/a>, welcomes hundreds of people on the first Saturday of every month, except January, that is until it was announced it would be taking a six month break rather than the usual month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The organisers made the announcement on <a aria-label=\"\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/all-about\/facebook\" rel=\"follow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"\">Facebook<\/a> at the beginning of September to say the market would remain closed until March 2026 in order to &#8220;focus and improve&#8221; policies and procedures <a aria-label=\"\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/whats-on\/whats-on-news\/liverpool-market-confirms-temporary-closure-32388824\" rel=\"follow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_self\">as well as recruit more volunteers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The Facebook post added: &#8220;We haven&#8217;t made this decision lightly, and we are sorry if this inconveniences traders and shoppers. In order for the market to continue to thrive, we need to take a break.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Granby Street Market has been a firm part of the community in L8 for well over a decade after launching as a summer community market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The market moved to Granby Street in 2016 as part of the area&#8217;s regeneration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Now, the market has confirmed its reopening strategy as people eagerly await its return.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">In an update on social media, the market said: &#8220;We have missed you. We will be back on March 7th but coming back gradually, so that we can train up our new volunteers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;What does this mean? This means that we will have a small market in March &#8211; with about 30 stallholders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;We have already contacted some of our traders about this &#8211; those who live in our community and who have been trading with us in the last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;The stalls will be on the Princes Avenue end, between Ducie St and Jermyn St. On April 4th, we will increase this to between 40-50 recent traders, from a slightly wider group in and around L8. On May 2nd, we&#8217;ll be back with a bang.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;Thanks for all your patience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Indianna Mcmillan-Parker commented: &#8220;Fantastic news!
