Saturday’s market
Sunday, May 18th, 2008
The market on Saturday was absolutely buzzing. There is now a solid core of regular customers, and our traders say there is a definite ‘feel’ to the Whiteladies Market - with Fridays and Saturdays each having a slightly different character. The traders tell us that what they love is the fact that the shoppers are so interested in all the products - how and where they were made, where the ingredients are sourced, how long the traders have been in the business and so on.
The lamb and mint sausages served as hot dogs did a roaring trade, the gourmet soup just can’t be beaten, and the cheeses from Shepton Mallet are very special. And once you’ve bought a victoria sponge from the cake stall you’ll never want to settle for supermarket cake ever again. As predicted, trendy shopping trolleys are now sported by the under fifty’s, and queuing is not a problem when there’s live music and so many friends to catch up with.
