December 2008 saw the picturesque Cheshire village of Tarporley host it's first Farmers Market. Visitors to the village, and locals alike enjoyed the fun atmosphere as two dozen stalls sold fresh farm produce on a cold and crisp December morning.24 trade stands ranging from local meats, cheeses and cakes to a chainsaw woodcarver and live hens provided shoppers with a real spectacle of local food, gifts – and fun.
Locals flooded into the market in their thousands ensuring many stallholders sold out. Sarah from Whitchurch-based “Simply Pies” sent home for more pies but sold out of those too.
Established businesses in Tarporley were delighted by the success of the event and felt it added a new trading dimension to the village.
The markets will be held monthly on the first Saturday of the month in 2 locations in the village: Church Lane and Chestnut Terrace.
