Covid-19 safety measures will be in place throughout all Markets and events taking place in Morpeth and at Sanderson Arcade, including contactless payments, hand sanitising stations, a one way system to move around the Markets plus all visitors are encouraged to wear face coverings whilst shopping at the Market
