Russell Dean of market operator Sketts added: “The response from local traders to the opportunity to sell their produce at Brindleyplace has been phenomenal.

The market will promote local produce sourced within a 60 mile radius of Brindleyplace and including a range of organic and seasonal products.
“The location of Brindleyplace is ideal for a market offering both onsite and passing trade and we fully expect the range of produce to evolve and grow over the coming months as we adapt to the wishes of this new customer base.”
With a firm commitment to the environment, the Brindleyplace team will be distributing free bags for life to Brindleyplace Local Produce Market customers in order to minimise waste packaging at the market.
Starting on May 29th, the market will be held between 10am-2pm on the last Friday of every month at Brindleyplace’s Central Square.
