Local producer's market to be held in Northampton town centre

Following the success of a similar event in July, the borough council has invited a number of county businesses to display their goods including The Good Loaf, Phipps Brewers, Frog Island Brewery, Fleur Fields Vineyards, All Fixed Up, Browns Gourmet Sausages and DonnaLulu Cooks.

Councillor Jonathan Nunn, deputy leader of Northampton Borough Council, said: “The successful launch of the local producer’s market came as a result of feedback from businesses and members of the public, saying that they would like to see more local products at the market.

“We were pleased to see how well the first of these markets was received in July and look forward to seeing the producers’ market grow over the coming months.”

Any local producers interested in taking part in future market can contact Charlie Childs, market manager, on 07771 930475 or by email at: [email protected]

People coming into the town centre on Saturday can also get involved in the second in a series of ‘Summer Fun’ days on the Northampton’s market.

This Saturday, artist Abi Sawyer will be inviting visitors to get creative in her arts and crafts workshops and music will be provided by indie-folk group, Matt McGuinness and the MLC, and Soul and RnB singer, Casey Leigh.

The entertainment will run from 11am to 3pm.
