We have quirky and unique arts and crafts made by local artists and makers.

We opened Glass Umbrella Art inside Stockport’s historic Market Hall in 2018. ‘Glass Umbrella’ is the nickname local people used for the Market Hall due to its glass ceiling construction.

Within our stall, under our own umbrella, we have a collection of talented makers from a range of creative sectors. You can find out more about them further down this page.

Our arts and crafts makers and collection is constantly changing so please drop by to take a look.
