Thank you from a snowy January Market

Well that was probably the coldest market we’ve had - but a very warm thank you to all of you who made it!

Here are a few pictures to remind you…

January Market Goes Ahead! - reduced line-up because of weather…

Well it looks like there will be a reduced line-up at tomorrows market - not suprising given that some of our farmers and producers have been reporting temperatures of below -10!

But we will be open!  So if you feel like popping along for some great food, we’re open from 9am.  We’ll have a warm welcome for all.

Currently coming:

BIG PAN MAN - fresh hot food
LOWER LIGHTWOOD CHEESE - cheese
MALT HOUSE - great local veg
SOUPERY - soup, hot and to take away
SARAH EDWARDS CAKES - cakes to warm the heart
HILL TOP - lamb and beef
MORETON MUSHROOMS - mushrooms
BEANS AND LEAVES - tea leaves and coffe beans
SPICE FEVER - spicy stuff
WAGSTAFFE EGGS - eggs and chicken
SQUISITO - all good things Italian, pasta, bread, sausages
OLD SANDLIN - apples and pears
WOODHOUSE FARM - pork

We’ll be back in February with a much fuller line-up…  weather permitting!

Road closures agreed… our market is safe!

We’ve just heard that our road closures have been approved, and that our market is therefore safe!

There has been a “communication problem” within the Highways Department -  as a result we were told something that was, well, wrong.  Unfortunately we had to take action, as if it had been true we would have been forced to close. 

Many thanks to all of you who have written, emailed, blogged or even twitted on this, it is very much appreciated.

I hope we’ll see you all at the market on Saturday, come along and say hello.
