Our Last Market of 2009

Today was our last market of 2009 and now all our members have a well earned rest for the month of January. We would like to say a big thank you to all our clientele and visitors to the market and all that remains is to wish you all a Merry Christmas and we look forward to a Happy New Year and to welcome you all back on the 5th February 2010.ps. Don't forget you can place an order in January ready for the 5th Feb pick up.

End of Season Markets

We will continue to put out various items for you to taste during the run up to Christmas, so please order once you have made your choice to ensure you get what you want, when you want. Don't forget Boxing Day!

Our last markets of 2009 will be on Friday 18th December and Tuesday 22nd December

We will not be back until Friday 5th february 2010 so remember to stock up your freezer for January.

Our Taster Day

Our Friday Taster Day hopefully was a great success. Many people sampled some of the tempting items on offer and then either placed orders or took away an order form to bring back another week. As the Christmas period is hetic for all our producers, both for the market but also on a personal basis we do ask our customers to place their orders as soon as possible, especially if they require Christmas cakes or puddings or rich fruit cakes as these do take some preparation and of course are more tasty if made in advance with time to mature before cutting into and eating!!

We will have our order forms available and a £5.00 deposit will secure your order.

Our Craft section will also be on display with cards and clothing perhaps just that stocking filler you are looking for and Christmas wreaths and Table Floral displays will also be on show.

You will be able to place orders, if you wish, by using the contact number shown, ready for Satuday collection.

Where has the summer gone!

Well here we are into August and the weather has been making everything grow like topsy out in our gardens, so much so that we have been selling bumper crops of every conceivable vegetable and lots of pot plants - so come along quick and get yours before it's too late!

Easter 2009

Before the rush

This week we opened on Maundy Thursday instead of Good Friday, but this did not deter our customers from queing at the door as usual.

Nearly ready




And we are off!

Easter Event

Our next special event will be Easter, where we will be holding our market on Maundy Thursday, the 9th April between 09.00 - 11.00.

We will have our usual goodies available - savoury pies, flans and pasties; cakes of all descriptions; puddings; fruit, veg and plants, together with a wide selection of crafts.

If there is something in particular that you may want, then it is always best to order a few days beforehand by calling our Market Manager on 07542017381

Woolly!

Being based in the Cotswolds, Chipping Campden came to greatness due to the wool trade of the 14th Century, so we felt it was only right and proper to have our own sheep, nick named Woolly.

When any of our members go away on holiday the idea is to take Woolly along and photograph him for our blog.

Here he is getting ready to go skiing in Norway - think he was certainly glad of his wool coat.

Mini Taster Day

We are holding a Mini Taster Day on Friday 20th March in readiness for Easter.

You will be given the opportunity to try various foods and if there is something you particularly want over the Easter period, then please place an order

Market Lunch

Every year we try and get together and have a meal out somewhere with as many Members of our market that can make the date.

This year eleven of us enjoyed a meal in an Italian restaurant in the town.
