Every Blackboard Market is a little different, but the feeling is always the same.

A morning spent wandering between stalls run by the people who make, grow, bake and brew what they sell. Take your time, have a wander, try something and stop for a chat.

Entry is always free. Come hungry, bring a bag and be prepared to come home with something you never planned on buying.
