Market Day : Sunday Nov 1st

As the days grow shorter, it’s time to hunker down, nip out for some treats, presents and essentials and return to the warm and dry! We will be there on Sunday 10.30 – 2.30pm with said presents, treats & essentials and I very much suspect we shall all be sporting our thermals and woolly hats!

As you all know, we are in Tier 3 and covid numbers are rising. Markets are still fighting the good fight & we will be continuing to use our 1 way system, asking you all to wear masks (even though we are outside), to make liberal use of the hand sanitisers & to keep your distance. Everyone has been exemplary in their cautiousness, I just ask that you keep your eye on keeping your distance from each other. If you are queuing for a stall, please do not block the pathway, queue against the stall in a line so that others can pass safely or go straight past and do another flypast on a 2nd trip round to place your order.

A 1000 thanks from all of us at the market, the traders are constantly telling me how safe they feel here and how compliant and understanding all their customers are – you can feel suitably smug:)

Here’s hoping for a lovely autumnal day on Sunday, written in hope more than conviction – I am literally watching the rain stream down my windows as I type…
