International Market ~ 6th - 7th May 2011

The International Market copmes to the Market Place in HALESWORTH for the first time on 6th & 7th MAY. The town will be playing host to a wide variety of Continental market stalls.

Over 25 traders from France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Holland and Poland. Many wearing traditional costumes, will arrive in the town to take part in the market. The market also features fair-trade produce such as arts, handycrafts, wooden carvings, hand made clothes from Africa, south East Asia and Latin America.

For food-lovers there will be a chance to buy a whole range of delights including Brittany biscuits, olives, Italian nougat, pungent cheeses, aromatic garlic, saucissons, Tartiflette from the Alps, charcuterie, fresh breads, croissants, bagels and much, much more! Or, for those of you wanting something a bit stronger there will be a range of Normandy ciders and calvados to ward off the spring chill.

As well as the fine edible goods, you will also be able to choose from a wide range of products including hand bags & leather items, Marseille soaps, lavender, children's toys and pachminas, wooden arts and crafts! These products cannot normally be found in your high street and there really will be something for everyone!

The town will be the scene of a bustling and colourful market.

Most of the products on sale will come from "the terroir" (the land) of the stall holder, where they are produced by small organisations such as family businesses, farms or small factories using traditional methods, maintaining a high standard of quality!

The Market will run from 9am until 5.30pm.
