Are you an early bird?

The Magpie ladies have lined up a few treats for all of you early birds...

We have some fabulous goody bags with some little treats from our stall holders for the first people through the door.

PLUS....the bit we're most excited about....we will be joined by The Horndog Brass Band (a favourite of Sir Sean Connery don't you know) who will provide a rather fabulous funky introduction to Magpie! Unfortunately they're busy dogs, so if you snooze you lose as they can only be with us for a while. 

For all you night owls and slow coaches don't fear as there's still plenty to do later in the day. We'll save you some cake in the 'pop-up' cafe, there will still be some fabulous tunes playing whilst you shop and there will be lots of hand made and vintage treats for you to snap up!

Hole in my Pocket

is the creative brainchild of Mr Allistair J Burt

Mr. Burt is an architect/ artist based in Glasgow who has worked under the banner of Hole in my Pocket on a range of different projects over the past few years, from short films for Channel 4, to building a Victorian Storytelling Machine for the new Museum in Shetland, to trying to solve the MP’s Expenses fiasco through creative means to forming their own religion at The Arches last year.

Our favourites are his intricately hand painted Russian dolls - currently we love the sailors, but (not so) secretly want them all - Adam & Eve, a brass band, dragons....  But there will also be cards, prints and art books for your pleasure!

May's Magpie Market has a little something for everyone. Lots of things for the discerning child in your life....
