A popular village food market has been forced to move to a new venue due to demand.
The monthly farmers market in Allonby is moving to the village’s Blue Dial Farm’s Moo Hall from September.
It was set up in 2019 by Janet McGreavy and the food only market usually features five local producers, but now the move means it can host 20 traders.
Janet said: “We are always really busy on market days and we thought we’d take the plunge and expand to Blue Dial Farm, home of the Moody Cow so we can offer stalls to more traders.
“We now have the space to make it a full-on farmers market and we have some of the most talented producers and creators in the county so we want to offer the chance for more local people to sell their wares.
“We’re already a bit of a destination for our customers so we thought now was the time to grow. It’s brilliant that Blue Dial Farm is supporting us in this way by offering Moo Hall.”
The first market will be held on September 15 from 11am to 2pm.
Any food producer, artist or crafter interested in a stall is asked to email clarewalker83@gmail.com
Organisers are only booking one trader of each product.
