The Village Market
The Village Market is back for 2025 with additional stalls, a great Repair Room line-up and new for this year, themed monthly events. Find us on the last Saturday of each month from 9.30-11.30 am at the Conygre Hall & field. Dates are 28th June, 26th July, 30th Aug, 27th Sep, 25th Oct & 29th November (Indoor Festive Market).
Stalls
This year there will be around 18 regular stalls each month for all your delicious local food basics, from bread and cheese to cakes and preserves and from 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), Mark Ricks woodworking, Limburnhill Biodynamic wine 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 each 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 avaialable. The Sharpening Service, based in Westfield, will be bringing their mobile van in May & June. You can get all your blunt garden tools, kitchen knives and scissors sharpened up again.
