Market continues to build links with local community

Now in its second year the Royal Oak Market continues to engage the local community with 1,200 people coming along to our last market in May.

The weather certainly helped – a sunny day between many winter ones – plus the exciting variety of stalls, fantastic arts and crafts, and delicious food to enjoy on the day plus lots of goodies to take home. 

The whole site was a-buzz with people picnicing in the community garden, waiting for their children to complete ‘the amazing race’ and just soaking up the relaxed, friendly atmosphere. And with passionate foodie Lisa Loveday doing cooking demonstrations on site, there really was a little something for everyone.

True to its vision, the market continues to be a place where the community can come together and learn about what is happening in their local environment – it’s great to see some of the same people back with every market and others that have come for the first time with a promise to be back for the next one – stallholders and visitors alike.

A lot of work goes into hosting the market and we would like to thank and acknowledge the support from the many volunteers on the day and in the lead up to the event.  

The Royal Oak Market is on once a season with the winter market taking place on Sunday 21 August, 10am – 2pm.
