Come to the Market Square any Thursday morning from February to December between 9:00 and 10:30 and you will find our flourishing Country Market, supported by more than 40 suppliers. There is a staggering display of seasonal homemade produce - cakes, breads, tarts, savouries, cookies, local eggs, honey, jams and chutneys - for supper, the freezer, vegetarians. Even in winter days we sell locally g
rown parsnips, lettuce, leeks, cabbage, apples and potatoes. In season we have cut flowers: daffodils, lilac, chrysanthemums, gladioli or mixed posies. In spring and summer our gardeners have herbaceous and vegetable seedlings ready for planting out. The crafts are represented too, in greeting cards, knitted items, needlework, felted decorations and wood. Tea, coffee and cake is served in the Bartholomew Room. Country Markets Ltd enables individual producers to sell their home-made, home-grown and hand-crafted items locally and co-operatively, directly to the public.
