Happy New Year everyone, we have just decided on our dates for 2012, with the first being on Sunday 1st April from 10am until 2pm.
We have already had a great number of our regular producers agree to attend this years markets with some new ones on the way to tempt your taste buds too.
We now have fresh bread, how fantastic is this, fresh bread on a Sunday morning, along with jams and chutneys, or maybe a nice piece of topside beef, home reared at Park Hill Farm at hales, just up the road from us.
We are hoping to have Adderley Wharf farm shop attend at this event with Alison's lamb, great time to buy the week before Easter, oh and don't forget Nicola from Tuesdays chocolate shop with her Easter eggs, did you know she also has diabetic chocolate!!
Or will you want to buy that little something different for an Easter gift, I'm sure you will find it here among the producers.

Christmas Farmers Market

Hi Everyone, well its that time of year again and we have had a great response for our next farmers market which is on SUNDAY 11th DECEMBER 2011.
The market will be on its new place of Cheshire Street where we have a street closure for the day, and it will run from 1oam until 3pm.
The Salopian Brass Band will be entertaining us in the afternoon and street buskers in the day time, Steve Chappie and his band of merry men will be entertaining us in "De Shed" once again and we are all looking forward to his warm gluvine.
I've got some really great producers coming along on the day with one of our newest members The Shrewsbury Bakehouse, Sheila is so popular at all her markets and I'm really pleased that she has agreed to come along to Market Drayton to serve us.
Viv at Lymestone Brewery is another new producer with her beers, a must for that Christmas gift for the person you don't know what to buy, We also have Paul from our very own U-Bru shop and he's bringing along his wine, some great tasting chances around Paul's stall, also to try.
For the people who are after something warm we have Paul with Titus Alpaca products, I'll be wearing my socks that I was given last year (my new pressie order will be going in this year too).
Shepley's butchers from Market Drayton is another new producer this year, we're really pleased that Scott and his award winning sausages is able to attend, he even sells sin free sausages too.
Nooch will be here as always with her Thai food and Mick with his Curry stall or go for that traditional home made, hand reared beef burger from Park Hill farm at Hales, so much to choose from, little taster about so please feel free to try before you buy.
And don't forget that little thing to finish of the day a nice cupcake or a woopie cake from The Little Round cake company or how about a gorgeous choci from Tuesday's chocolate shop, there is so much to choose from.
As always Rosalind will be here with her vegan and vegetarian food, get in early as she sells it very quickly and this time we will also have the Nutroast company coming along ready to treat you in time for Christmas.
And just in case the weather is expected to be bad over the next few months we have George popping along with his logs and kindling and Mike who will be bringing along bags of salt grit and also arranging deliveries to your house for you to be prepared for the winter chill.
We have so many coming along to this event too many to mention, but we are sure we will have everything that you will need for your perfect Christmas, from the something unusual like Quince Cheese to the traditional Christmas pud, all local to our Market town.
I hope you'll be able to attend as its going to be another great event, and don't forget our shops open too for this event, BUY LOCAL, EAT WELL
