Gutted for the @levymarket guys, sadly it's happening more & more where larger 'artisan market' companies are pitching to take over the community based established markets that bring value to the local economy/well being of the local community😞
#shoplocal#communitymatters
So here we are, the end of our journey.
As lots of you will be aware a new market has been appointed by @ManCityCouncil to take up our old stomping ground and start trading later this week in Levy Train Station Carpark...
Ace to see ‘our kitchen’ on #ourwelshchapeldream 🫶 To be honest it was what made us fall in love with our home when we first viewed it 🙌

Cracking day in Leek - sold out by 12.30 - sadly #PowellsPies still hold the record by selling out by 11.30 🤣
Food delivered from #Kismet just in time to settle down for @PotteryThrow 🙌
