A good old fashioned outdoor market, Brampton Market is local shopping, seasonal produce and a meeting place in the heart of Brampton, Chesterfield
Folks often talk about a time when there were family-run fruit and veg shops in Brampton and what a shame it is now they’re gone. What they miss they say is not only the convenience - but the sociability and the chance of bumping into a neighbour for a chat.
On Saturday 28th May 2016 we’ll be piloting a new outdoor market in the heart of Brampton. Centred around Brampton’s own pop-up fruit and veg shop hosted outside the Britannia Inn, Brampton Market will offer high quality everyday provisions and special treats at affordable prices.
With artwork and signage by local artist, Pete Barber, there’ll be fresh bread from Monkey Park, Derbyshire cheese, home-made cakes and pies, flowers and plants, banana fritters, chilli sauces, lashings of real ginger beer - oh - and fresh fish from Grimsby.
Why are we doing it? We want to create a friendly outdoor space, open to all, offering quality produce. We hope that Sat 28th will be the first of many markets, and we invite everyone to come and see what’s on offer, and tell us what they would like at future events.
It’s not about looking back or nostalgia for the past. Brampton Market will represent good things like local shopping, seasonal produce and a meeting place on a crossroads at the heart of where things happen.
