Stalls
This year there will be around 15 regular stalls each month for all your delicious local food basics, from bread and cheese to cakes to preserves and savouries and meat to plants and vintage wares. In addition we will have guest stalls, with us for a few months of the year, including Fillerup (Radstock refill shop), Woodshedding Brewery (beer from Bruton) and Palette & Pasture ice cream.
The stalls are shown below and the link at the bottom takes you to a full list with links to producer websites if you’d like to learn more.
Repair Room
Sewing repairs will be available in the Repair Room most months. Our wonderful volunteer sewer can fix your tears, holes and broken zips for a small donation. This year you can also bring your bike along for a bit of basic maintenence. Our Bike Whisperer will be with us in April, May & June and if demand is high may join us in other months too. Again, a donation towards your bike repairs is appreciated. Tool sharpening will also be avaialble – dates to be confirmed.
