Holiday Time

Holiday time is always a funny time at the Market - lots of locals are away on holiday, but conversely we have many vistors either staying in Campden or just passing through.

This year we have sent posters out to all the local self catering businesses and asked them to put our poster in their accommodation folder. This together with our slightly longer opening hours, (until 11.30) hopefully will help make a difference.

We have quite a few foreign visitors, some who just pop their heads round the doors, others that come in and chat as they really like the idea of purchasing home grown and home made goods to take back to their own countries.

Enjoy the rest of the summer!
