Penistone Local Food and Farmers' Market

The April market was busy, with the market bulding looking fabulous now that the new glass and steel walling has been completed. Well done BMBC for a fine job that compliments the building overall. The new walls mean that it is now easy for potential shoppers in the car park can see what is going on in the market building.

As ever the stallholders put on a great display and the shoppers were appreciative with a real buzz in the market around 10.30am. For the May market we will have all the usual stallholders so come and talk to them and they will tell you the story of their produce - we really are here for you!

So remeber to come along in May to have a look at what we have, there is bound to be something that you will like and possibly even love!

We have a range stallholders lined up for the market on 12th May including our regulars

Granny B's - cakes, savouries and breads
Melanie's Chox - hand made chocolates every day indulgence
Snowdon Hill Water Buffalo - something different and very tasty and low in cholesterol too!! Cath is the one to talk to here
Two Roses Brewery - Jim has fabulous local beer
Simply Yorkshire - Michael and Viv are the people to talk to.
Hackinghill Farm Shop - from Cubley so local food was never closer

And we have had enquiries from some more new stall holders who we are currently talking with so there could be more!

As ever we are still keen on attracting new stallholders, so if you are a customer visiting other markets, please encourage the stallholders that you like to get in touch with us - if you like what the stallholder has, the chances are lots of others will too!!
