Kings Norton Farmers Market

We’re looking forward to another great market this Saturday.  Summer is with us - we’ve got heavy rain, we didn’t do as well at Wimbledon as we hoped, and we’re about to suffer at the hands of the Australians… but we do have delicious strawberrys to make us feel happy!

This Saturday is also the Kings Norton Festival, so when you’ve shopped your heart out why not pop along to Saint Nicolas Place (or the Saracen’s Head if you prefer) and have a look?  Lots of fun activities for all the family!

So who says that nothing unusual happens at our Market? On Saturday we were visited by an 18th Century Highwayman (complete with horse, mask and pistols). Unfortunately for him our traders are not the types to be worried by this type of behaviour, and despite his cries of “Your money or your life!” he actually went away with half a dozen eggs, some vegetables and a rather nice pie.

(Thanks to our friends at Saint Nicolas Place for the highwayman).

We ran our Meal Deal offer again, once more it was very succesful, with our beer supplier (Tunnel Brewery) running out of beer! We’re going to rest the offer for a while, but will probably bring it back in the summer.

Our next market is on the 13th June - see you there…
