Hello everyone.

As we come out from this winter lockdown we have been reviewing our activity in the Eco market at St Mary's. For lots of reasons we have decided that two full days will be better for opening the market rather than the four mornings. We will therefore be opening Wednesday and Saturday 10.30am to 3.30pm (Volunteers any time from 9am to 5pm welcome).  We thought that this could be seen in the same way as continental 'market days' as we will soon have vegetables and we have local people wanting to have stalls of jewellery, plants, knitwear and candles.

This is similar to last summer and we could even begin to accept preloved items again for stalls outside the market on a Saturday.

On Wednesday the day will begin with a short service in the church at 10.00am for those who wish and there is a relaxing Mindfulness session at 2.00pm.

We think this will be fun for everyone and we will be serving tea and cake as well to take out and sit around in the herb garden or orchard.

Thank you all.

We hope that you enjoy coming to the market, as much as we enjoy seeing you.

God Bless

Ali
