Hello there,

The latest Farmers’ Market turned out to be another success, with over approximately 5,000 visitors attending, which given the competing attractions on offer in the city and North West generally, was a very impressive turnout.

We hope that you enjoyed the move to the Large Outdoor Covered Market, where we feel there was more room to operate for the public and stall holders alike.

The range of products on offer was widened further to include fruit, vegetables, breads, seafood and jams. We can confirm that for the upcoming market, we have secured over 60 producers.

As always, we’re very keen to gain your feedback and if you have any special requests for products that you haven’t seen at the previous markets, then please do contact us.

We can confirm that the following points have been acted on or are in the process of being acted on:
