Kineton Farmers' Market makes a return with three more planned this year
IF gin, jam and ham is on sale along with chocolate and chutneys at the first Kineton Farmers' Market of the year it can mean only one thing – that spring is not far behind.
The first of four markets throughout the year was held in the village Market Square last Saturday with a dazzling display of tasty teasers and pleasers on offer to buy and thus support local businesses.
There was food and crafts to discover on market stalls which were all created within a short travelling from the historic village centre of Kineton and that’s what makes this event so special – there’s something for everyone.
Flowers and seasonal wreaths were blooming lovely and a short trek from one stall to another revealed handmade fabric crafts, rare breed meats, savouries, cakes and salads, beer, honey and ice cream with lots of live music tucked in between.
Andrea Donnelly, the stall organiser for the market said: "It was really lovely and the first one of the year and the sun shone after we'd had snow and ice earlier in the week. We are licensed for 20 stalls selling local produce and this is our 14th year. It's very definitely a community event and the money goes back into the community.The market is run by volunteers."
The next Kineton Farmers Market is in May with a summer sizzler planned in July and one more in September.
