Somerset Farmers’ Markets This Saturday

Frome and Keynsham, part of the Somerset Farmers’ Markets, Go Ahead This Saturday

Despite the second lockdown, outdoor markets have been given permission by the government to continue trading during November, selling food, drink and plants, which is music to the ears of the Somerset Farmers’ Market. It means the highly popular and busy Frome Farmers’ Market outside the Cheese & Grain will take place on Saturday 14th November. And the well supported Keynsham Farmers’ Market will also take place on the same day. Both markets run from 9am – 1pm.

Louise Hall is the organiser of the local Somerset Farmers’ Markets. ‘This is great news and comes as a big relief to all of our dedicated farmers and producers,’ says Louise. ‘I know that all our regular customers in Frome and Keynsham will also be delighted.’

At all of the Somerset Farmers’ Markets events, the organisers have been working hard to ensure that the experience is both a safe and an enjoyable one. ‘We take our responsibilities to reduce the coronavirus being transmitted very seriously and each stall has put in place safety procedures,’ adds Louise. ‘I would ask all of our visitors to please be patient when visiting the markets and we would also ask that just one person or household group be at a stall at any one time, so that social distancing can be maintained. If possible, customers are also asked to shop alone. The wearing of face coverings is also strongly encouraged.’

Thatcher + Hallam is delighted to sponsor these local markets. Lucy Ingram is our Head of Commercial Property and Business Law.

‘This remains a very challenging time for all our great local farmers and producers,’ says Lucy. ‘Support from the community makes a real difference to local businesses, who work so hard. If you are able to, then pop on down to one of the markets this Saturday and show your support.’
