Merch Market, Freight Island

Merch and Vinyl Adventures was created by Tim Burgess 2 years ago and is returning to Manchester in January.

You'll be able to pick up band merch knowing that 100% of the proceeds are going directly to the artist. You might even get to meet some of the bands as they sometimes run their own stalls!

Alongside clothing, vinyl and more, you can also stick around and watch live performances, interviews and much more.

Tickets are free, follow the link here for yours.

The event is advertised as open from 11am to 9pm. I'll pop the start time as 12 noon for now, and I'll check to see if there's an itinerary closer to the time and amend if needed.
