20th May – Love Your Local Market!
20th May marks the start of Love Your Local Market fortnight and to show off our market at its best we have a wonderful variety of stalls this week. Along with our regulars selling local produce and takeaway foods, we have more fruit from Sotwell Manor Fruit Farm, fish from Bibury Trout Farm, delicious jams and chutneys from Brynmoor Conserves, and hand crafted chocolates from Plantation Chocolates. Hilary Squire Flowers is back with posies and plants, and Mrs B’s Antiques will be in the foyer with an array of vintage delights. The market café this week is Ingrid’s Bistro which includes Ingrid’s Pocket Boutique selling handmade bunting and string bags
