Please read message below from Annie Lewis:

VOLUNTEERS WANTED

‘Join us for the last Farmers Market of 2025!   Thursday 4 December, 6-8pm at The Hall, Fresh Veg, Cheese, Preserves, Meat, Eggs, Pies and Sausage Rolls, Venison, Honey and Wax products, Flavoured Oils and Walnuts, Tea and gift packs, plus ceramics, Neals Yard, cards and gifts and Christmas wreaths.  The splendid Catchy Fish will be serving their Fish and Chip Suppers and the Bar will be open.  It is a great community social get together and  the best local shopping opportunity.

The markets which run from April to December are completing their 8th successful year!  Thank you so much to our lovely stallholders and customers supporting local produce and people.  Huge thanks are also due to the team who manage the admin, the media, put out signage, stock the bar, operate the bar, set up and help clear up at the end!  

2026 will need a change in order for the market to continue – either in its current or a new format.  New folk are needed particularly to help on the day of the market with tasks such as setting up, running the bar and clearing away at the end. Similarly needed are volunteers to put out and retrieve signs around the locality.  Anyone who can help in a small way or who would like a chance to run or recreate this valuable and beneficial project is welcome to drop an email to info@thehallevents.org.uk or to anniethepatch@yahoo.co.uk.‘
