Looking forward to seeing everyone at our next market, July 5th. It should be a little cooler than the week in which I am writing this!
Last month was such a lovely market, not sure exactly why. The weather was middling, so it wasn’t that, it just seemed that everyone was in a good mood. From traders to coffee shops to customers, right through to all the dogs who came. There was lots of chat, lots of greetings, just a buzz throughout the day. Even the dogs were getting on, we usually have a few bust-ups between dogs, but there were barely any.
Perhaps the Police presence put us all on our best behaviour😊 However, I doubt it, the feeling was there well before they arrived. They were fabulous – our people in blue. We had a bunting crisis and the bunting putter-upperers were too busy chatting in Stomping Ground to notice the bunting had collapsed. But the police officers leapt into action and sorted it all out, until the Bunting Team could be winkled out from under their coffee cups to take over😊
Thankyou to the police officers from all of us at the market. I can’t imagine sorting out our bunting was on their bingo card for the day…

NEW FACES
This month we are going to be joined by The Little Musicians. From 11am for 45 minutes we will be serenaded by the Strings Group.
I asked Sophie to give us an insight into the group:
Little Musicians Heaton Moor provides weekly music classes run by professional musicians, for children aged 0-10. From a young age, children learn the building blocks of musicianship through fun songs, actions, games, and by experimenting on percussion instruments. Since starting in 2021 we have delivered sessions to over 550 children in the Heatons and beyond!
Our Mini Musicians, aged 0-2, explore new songs, sights and sounds with the help of live music, puppets, bubbles, parachutes and animal friends. Little Musicians, aged 2-4 begin to read rhythmic notation, start recognising pitch for themselves, begin to fine tune their improvising skills, and learn more about different orchestral instruments, all while having lots of fun along the way. From school age, our Super Strings groups can choose a violin or cello of their own to continue their musical journey, learning how to play as part of an ensemble with expert group tuition from professional instrumentalists.
Performing at Heaton Moor Market in July, is the most advanced group- Super Strings. The group is made up of local string players aged between 7-10, and they can’t wait to show the people of the Heatons what they’ve been working on!
We always love seeing new faces- find us on Facebook and Instagram, or visit www.littlemusiciansheatonmoor.co.uk to see what we get up to!
BEHIND THE SCENES
There is a lot of chat in market circles about AI being used to produce posters and written content. You can imagine there is a lot of disdain plus grudging acknowledgement of why people use it. What’s really upsetting people though is that many of the large market businesses have many, many creative traders but they are the serial offenders who use AI for advertising, never asking their loyal trader base if they could collaborate and produce better, more targeted and higher quality adverts. What do you think?
Rest assured at Heaton Moor Producers Market – we don’t use AI for written content – as you can probably tell if you have read thus far….
Nor do we use it for any artistic content, we use my brother-in-law who is a graphic designer. That may well be nepotism, but that’s an entirely different subject…
See you on July 5th, 10 – 2.30pm
From all of us at Heaton Moor Producers Market
