On the first day of Bike Week, avoid saddling yourself with unnecessary food miles by shopping at the Farmers’ Market, where we have our usual selection of local food producers and fabulous ready-made takeaways. In addition to our regular food stalls, this week we have Coopers Pork with pork, sausages, and bacon, Chillies2U selling home-grown chilli sauces, and Brynmoor Conserves with wonderful homemade preserves. Our sweet option this week is Naturally Sweet and we also have market co-founder Brian’s Books – perfect for those last-minute Father’s Day gifts. And don’t forget to stop at Raffaele Pepe’s Café.

To help you solve that Father's Day gift problem, Marker co-founder and Honorary Chair Brian Levison is bringing a range of his books to the market.

The book will make an ideal gift for any cricket-loving member of the family and Brian will be happy to inscribe a dedication.
