In July this year a Farmer's Market was started at the Pavilion which went well through the summer season but unfortunately Autumn came along and the number of people using the Market decreased.
We needed a different venue and by chance somebody mentioned Crampton Tower Hall, Broadstairs never having been there, we went and had a look and thought it had potential.
So on the 7th Novmember 2012 the doors opened and the Broadstairs Market was born.
Since then Broadstairs Market has ebbed and flowed with new traders coming and going but we have managed to keep an interesting mix of stalls selling all kinds of items from Bread to Apple Juice, Knitted Mice to Felt Craft Kits, Sausage Rolls and Soup to Ceramic Jewellery.
We have had a steady number of customers enticed in by the smells and sounds of enthusiastic local stallholders wanting to show them what is happening locally.
We are Broadstairs Market is open every Wednesday 10am - 2pm come rain or snow and shine.
We have a small seating where you can have coffee, tea and cake at good prices, we also have a vintage van outside selling soup, bacon sandwiches and sausage rolls.
The purpose of this blog will be to give you an insight into the producers and craft people that are out and about in Thanet, we will be given you interviews and recipes, extra events that we are developing and maybe some gossip.
As is required now we have a Facebook Page and Twitter account so you can also keep in touch with us that way as well.
Look forward to maybe seeing you at Broadstairs Market, Every Wednesday, Crampton Tower Hall, 10am - 2pm
