  • NEW – Specialist Markets

    Ale & Food logo

    Heaton Moor Producers Market has been so well supported over the past few years and has become an event that is much looked forward to each month, by customers and traders alike.

    As a result of this, we have been looking at ways in which the market can grow further, but without losing any of it’s appeal or the community feel that it has developed.

    The answer – regular specialist markets.  After much debate & consideration, we have decided to hold additional “festival” markets that would focus on certain products sold by our traders at the monthly market and incorporate some street food & entertainment into this.

    The first is to be an Ale & Food market this coming October- we are looking for local breweries to come along and promote their real ales to the Heatons and sell bottled beer for customers to enjoy at home. We are also looking for local producers to accompany this with items such as pies, tarts, scotch eggs etc

    Other specialist markets in the planning include a coffee & chocolate market (March); a flower & garden market (July/August); and maybe even a market especially for bakers – cakes, biscuits, bread………

    Look out for updates on these specialist events and for news on local restaurants/delis who will be taking part via Twitter and Facebook.

  • What’s On This #MarketSaturday

    It’s almost time for the July Heaton Moor Producers Market and, due to demand for stalls, we have expanded! Thanks to The Blue Cat on Shaw Road, we will have stalls inside, as well as outside on the car park between The Kushoom Koly and Kro Heaton Moor.

    And, it promises to be a busy & bustling day, with glorious July weather from the look of things (hope I haven’t jinxed that now!!).

    Here’s what’s on this #MarketSaturday:

  • What you can find at The Market: 2. More quality, locally produced food

    Continuing with a look at what locally produced food you will find at our monthly market, here are a few more of our foodies:

     

    6. Pate & Wine Co

    Based in Cheshire, The Pate & Wine Co bring delicious homemade Pate to our market each month, including varieties such as Luxurious Duck Parfait, Spicy Red Lentil and Smoked Trout. Look out for their Special Varieties each month and try a sample or two (also love their lasered slate displays!)

    7. Coffee Circle

    Now, this is a stall which certainly draws people in – the smell of freshly roasted coffee being ground by James, our coffee expert!  James hand roasts a variety of coffee beans, bringing them to the market for you to buy to make your own fresh coffee at home – available as either whole beans or ground according to your type of coffee maker.

    8. The Blue Agarve Co

    The Blue Agarve stall offers something completely different to our market – a natural sweetening ingredient to sugar. Made from The Blue Agarve Plant in Mexico, this natural sweetener is available in a variety of naturally flavoured syrups for cooking & baking, and it can be added to drinks.  The other good part about this product, it is suitable for diabetics.

    9. Some Like It Hot

    The “Some Like It Hot” stall is one of those that really fascinates, with the range & variety of dried chillies, smoked garlic, salsas, oils and hot sauce. It is a great opportunity to try something different and talk to Andrew & Philippa about their products and ways to cook with them. I always love the way this stall is set out and it’s wonderful to have such a range of products available at the market.

    10. The Moocher

    The Moocher is a relatively new stall at our market but they have proved very popular with their wonderful and unusual range of products – anyone who has been to the market recently will have seen their proper Pork Scratchings, handmade Sausage Rolls & Scotch Eggs and Potted Meats. Well worth a try.

    11. Manchester Cheesecakes

    Another relatively new stall at the market, and a very welcome one with our customers! Baked Cheesecakes in a wide range of flavours and sizes – I have tried one and they are delicious! The Cheesecake scan be ordered directly from Manchester Cheesecake if you need one in-between markets, and they can even make them for weddings!
