The Farmers Market, held in February, was a joint venture between the Council and Gaskells. It attracted lots of visitors to the town, who sampled and bought a whole host of locally produced food and goods at the event. Due to the first Market’s success, another is planned for 3rd March, running from 8am to 2pm. Stalls are just £10, with all proceeds to charity.
Cllr Pritchard said; “We’re delighted to present this money to the various charities including the Mayoral Charity Fund and East Lancashire Hospice and also that the event itself was such a success. We plan to carry on, with the next one scheduled for 3rd March. Word is spreading and we’ve already got lots of producers booked in for March, so please come along on the day and buy some wonderful locally sourced produce."
Nick Gaskell, of Gaskell Motorbodies said; “We’re really pleased to be working in partnership with the Council and local producers. We’re thrilled with the markets success so far, and that we are able to carry on raising money for local good causes as well. Please come along to Towngate on 3rd March for the next Farmers Market and help us grow this already popular event.”
