Chipping Campden Business Forum

The Country Market is pleased to be part of the Chipping Campden Business Forum.

We attended a meeting last night and were able to view the new website for The Forum which became live yesterday. 

The Forum brings together all types of businesses within the Chipping Campden area, allowing participants to advertise their goods and services and obtain expert advice on how to maintain and grow their business - whatever the size.

Alfresco eating

Well the Bar-b-que season is well under way and we have just the items for your grill.

Sausages and gammon rashers are a favourite - but don't forget all your salad items to accompany your meal and of coure if there is still room, then I am sure we can supply you with a suitable pud for afters!

Shop Campden Friday 10/5

Chipping Campden Country Market kicked off the shop Campden Day. This is a promotion to shop locally; shop in Campden. On a use it or loose it basis. 

The main event followed in the afternoon including a black out of windows to show how the town would look without these shops - terrible!  

The theme was yellow & green (see pic) and there were fun events for the rest of the day.

Wonderful weather!

Well aren't we the lucky ones - beautiful weather; plants growing; trees coming into blossom and for us here at Chipping Campden, visitors coming to the town and calling in at the market.

CC is a place that has for many years been on the tourist circuit, whether they be from abroad or just some where else in the UK. 

Sometimes they just come in as they are curious as to what we are about and have a chat, whilst other times they make purchases, which all go to help our overall takings.

Why ever they call in, we are always pleased to see them and ask them to tell all their friends - who knows one of them may just buy something to take home.

 

Well, after the last few months at The Lygon Arms, we are now back at the refurbished Lower Town Hall in the heart of Chipping Campden.

Our grateful thanks goes to Sandra and her team for their hospitality during our enforced stay, but it's good be back.

Many thanks also to all our regular customers who travelled to the other end of town to continue shopping with us, in spite of the chilly and sometimes snowy weather.

It was also good to see that some not so local still paid us a visit when they saw our banner.

Over the next few months we will be profiling some of our new producers and we hope that you will come and try....and buy their wares.

So as they say -  "watch this space"!

Don't forget - It's homemade & locally sourced

Here at the Country Market in Chipping Campden, we are creators of fresh, home made and home cooked, sweet and savoury items. Any pork used is from our Lady pig farmer with beef and chicken supplied from within the Gloucestershire area.

Fresh vegetables used are generally local and any other ingredients tend to be British sourced if at all possible.

The Country Markets, throughout England & Wales, have always been renowned for keeping food as local as possible and we at Chipping Campden are no exception. 

We are at all times willing to answer questions about any of the produce that we sell – Remember everything is definitely what it says on the package!

Our new temporary home

We have now been in the back room of The Lygon Arms Hotel for the last two Fridays and both local and early visitors are starting to find us, with some even staying for a chat & coffee.
Don't forget we have all our usual items and some new ones as well for 2013.
