Not only does Nottingham now have social eating, but we have Social Shopping too! At the Nott's Nosh event last week people came together from Sneinton, St Ann’s and all over town to celebrate local food.
We don’t have enough space here to really do justice to the day but checkout this link for a guy that does http://mutherbored.com/post/nottsnosh-at-sneintonmarket-roaring-success. Thanks to Phil ‘dm’Campbell for his fantastic write up, to Shona, Penney and everyone involved with Nott's Nosh to say nothing of the digging, weeding, peeling and baking involved with bringing us such lovely food.
To quote Phil again, ‘If we could just maintain the energy and culture of our connectedness that worked for the people and brought them together like that I’m sure we could do that at least every fortnight or monthly’. Yes, it costs money to make events like that happen, but we know that Sneinton Market will only be completely sustainable when you can come down every week and know you will find cheese, bread, meat, cakes and even cleaning stuff. We’re not quite there yet; this week we have people on holiday – small producers that need a break- but that’s the aim, and we’re growing organically!
Our special offer this week – free stalls for new food producers to maintain the momentum from last week.
On the market on Saturday we can confirm Beccy’s Global Kitchen (vegetarian), Bake Off and Pie, Cakes by Maine, and Joyce Killowe, local organic grower of veg, fruit, herbs and flowers as well as our traditional fruit and veg, cleaning stuff, Avon by Penny, clothing; It’s only Tuesday, so the list will grow.
Don't forget, the 10th August will be the Crafty Cats, the 17th Nottingham Fixers, and the return of the Rummage Lounge! Lots of ideas and stuff to sort through.
