Palmers Green's own community market, MarketN13, has now been operating for six months. Starting this month, it will be introducing some new and notable local suppliers, collecting for North Enfield Foodbank and switching to monthly operation.
MarketN13 founder Annita Correia describes the changes:
"We hope everyone is enjoying the revamped, renewed Sunday Market in Palmers Green N13, which launched in March this year.
"We want to let everyone know that from October, we will be trading monthly, on the 3rd Sunday of the month - to dovetail with a couple of other local markets. This makes our future dates for 2015, the 18th October, 15th November and 20th December.
"From the outset one of the aims of the team was to prioritise local producers, while still covering the basics; so we are delighted to have award winning Enfield bakers, Holtwhites; Forty Hall Farm Shop; and N13 based Nella Catering (Caribbean street food) amongst our traders for these future dates.
"As a community market we also want to involve ourselves in the wider Enfield community. We’re pleased to be partnering with North Enfield Foodbank and anyone who would like to donate can do so at any one of our markets. We have lists of what is most needed, and can advise on appropriate donations of fresh foods if you are unsure.
"So please come, bring your enthusiasm and support; if we want local markets we need to vote with our feet and our custom! Come and do your household food shop – fresh fruit and veg, breads and pastries, garden plants and cut flowers, marvellous meats and sausages; browse the craft stall, savour some home made cake, or sample the street food.
"Everyone gets a friendly welcome."
