Showcase markets are set to return
TWO markets showcasing homemade food, artisan crafts and fresh produce will be held in Heald Green this year.
Following the success of a July event at Nixon’s Farm Shop, Outwood Farm, a further two Worker Bee Markets are scheduled for Sunday, September 16 and Sunday, November 18.
They will run from 10am to 3pm in the newly refurbished cow barn at Outwood Farm.
The autumn (September) market will showcase 40 stalls selling goods including artwork, sweet treats, cooking ingredients, plants, jewellery, ceramics, fresh produce, pet treats, skincare and homeware.
There will be homemade food and drink from the Moody Cow Cafe at Nixon’s Farm Shop and children will be able to play in Nixon’s Playrooms.
Artisans showcasing their wares at the market will include Lemon Drizzle Tea and Cakes and Stevie’s Wood and Things, both from Bramhall, Lily Grace Designs from Woodford, Cheshire Bakehouse from Cheadle Hulme, Kate O’Brien Art from Edgeley, Banshee Trading from Reddish and Salkini Homemade Food from Wilmslow.
The aim of the Worker Bee Markets is to bring artisan makers and producers to local communities, making it easier for people to shop local and meet the makers and producers in person.
Rather than expecting people to travel, the locations are easily accessible by foot for local residents.
Worker Bee Markets can also be found in Bramhall, with a new event to be held in Gatley in October.
