    Heatons Summer FestivalHeaton Moor Park, Sunday 22 June 2014

    Well, I did say we weren’t going very far……just down the road from our regular site in fact!

    The local traders association for The Heatons – the 4HTA – have organised this free festival each summer for the past 4 years. This is the 5th anniversary of the ever-popular event, and Heaton Moor Market will be taking part!

    Line-up for the day includes live music, old fashioned fair-ground stalls, funfair, sport displays, hot food from local cafes & restaurants, a Heatons Bake-off, community & local business stalls and, this year, Heaton Moor Market all set up in the park (an extra market for the month of June!).

    Whatever the weather, it is a fabulous, fun day for all the family and a great way to celebrate The Heatons.

    #HeatonsSummerFestival

    Entry to both these events is free, so come along, help support independent, local business and enjoy!

     

     

  • Market Day – March

    market march 3

    It wasn’t quite the beautiful, dry Spring day that had been forecast, but the March Heaton Moor Market brought the crowds out once again.

    We had the pleasure of welcoming a couple of new traders to our market this month – Mafeking Biltong, Salkini’s Homemade Food, Belle Chocolats and Your Pet Palace – great to be able to add more talented producers to our market.

    Salkini's Homemade Food

    Belle Chocolats

    We missed a couple of our traders who were away this weekend, but looking forward to having them back with us next month.

    Lots of market-goers took the opportunity to enjoy the hot food available at the market this month – Hot Roast Rolls and Roast Lamb Wraps were being cooked on the rotisserie by Kro, while  Jerk Chicken, Sausages & Burgers were on the bbq from Back’s Deli.

    We very much hoped you enjoyed the market and hope to see you back next month – let us know what you think of the market and if there is anything we can improve on!

    Many thanks, Heaton Moor Market 🙂

  • Next Market – Sunday 02 March 2014

    The weeks are passing quickly already and it is nearly time for the March Heaton Moor Market.  That also means that we should be getting closer to better weather and lighter days, and hopefully an end to these awful winds that have caused so much destruction to local areas, and so much disruption to local markets!

    March sees a fully booked market with plenty of locally produced, fresh food; crafts and gifts – don’t forget, it’s Mother’s Day at the end of March, so use this opportunity to buy something handmade & unique.

    Hot food will be available again, which we hope you will enjoy while you spend time at the market, or pop in to one of the local cafes or restaurants and make the most of #HeatonsSunday.
