Every month we invite community groups to promote their organisation through a small stall. It's a great way to raise awareness of their activities and can often lead to new leads and avenues for all involved. Here we feature this months stall and showcase stalls from the past markets.
The stall is free and any community organisation/charity can apply to host the stall. Understandably it gets booked up very quickly, so if you are interested get in-touch via the contact page or send us an email to info@kingsnortonfarmersmarket.co.uk
