It's nearly Christmas!

Well I know we haven't had any snow yet so this is just wishful thinking on my part, but it does make the Lower Town Hall look pretty & sort of festive.

Anyway Friday the 19th is our big morning, we have lots of orders to be boxed or bagged up ready for collection. We have asked our customers not to arrive until after 9.30 as we need this length of time to get everything in place.

I know quite a few of us will be wearing something Christmassy and when we finish at about 11.30, it's over the road for coffees to celebrate another year over for the Market.

For those of you reading this who have suddenly forgotten to put in your order, there will be a few bits & pieces available to buy on Friday, but if you want to be really safe, then as long as you ring by noon onTuesday 16th, then we may be able to help out - see our number up to the right.

Have a lovely Christmas everyone and we hope to see you all again on Friday 6/2/2015 when we re open for business.

Christmas Over for another year

Well it's over and we can all breath a sigh of relief as January is our month of rest here at the Country market.

December we were really busy with taking orders for Christmas and people generally stocking up for when we are closed.

Not to worry, we re-open on Friday 7th february at the usual time of 9.00

We wish all our customers, existing and those soon to be, a very Happy New Year and  look forward to catching up with you and making new acquaintances.

TASTER DAY 15th Nov

Well once again we have wizzed through the year and Christmas will soon be upon us.

We will be having our annual Taster Day on Friday from 9 - 11. Here you can taste lots of different goodies and if you particularly like something, either make a purchase, if available, or place an order ready for pick up on either the 13th or 20th December.

As well as food, we will have lots of craft items - cards  - hand made soaps 

- table decorations - plants in stylish containers .

Please come along as we are sure you will be pleasantly surprised.

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.
