Thanks to Foxwood Steel and their fantastic sound, our spirits were high in the wonderful spring sunshine. What a difference to all that snow last month!
We are lucky to have such a talented chocolatier and cake maker in Mark Shipway of Cutting Cake Pattisserie. Mark, who made us a wonderful birthday cake, also made a chocolate March Hare for our children’s competition. The cake was fabulous and our shoppers made sure there wasn’t any left by the end of the market. Our congratulations go to 9 year old Eddie Hunter who won the chocolate March Hare in our 3rd birthday competition – we don’t think there will be much left of that by now either!
Councillors Ghulam Hussain and Valerie Kendall congratulated REAP and the organising committee, stallholders and – most of all – the people of Oakwood, on the third birthday of the farmers’ market.
All stallholders at the Oakwood Farmers’ Market are very conscious of the need to re-use packaging whenever possible. Why not ask them what items you can usefully bring back for re-use.

We look forward to hearing from you.
WOW! Can you believe it – Oakwood Farmers’ Market is 3 years old this month!
To celebrate, we have some special treats for you.
To help banish those winter blues and remind of us of sunshine and warm days ahead, we will have the Foxwood Steel Band as the soundtrack to our celebrations. Many of you have requested their return to the market and now seemed like just the right time.
Those of you who are festival goers will be familiar with the fabulous smells and tastes of Moorish. Kada Bendaha will be stirring our senses and delighting our palettes with wonderful dishes from his native Algeria.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper celebration without a cake. And celebration cakes don’t come any better than those made by our own Mark Shipway of Cutting Cake Patisserie. Mark has promised us a spectacular cake this year – and we’ll be giving away pieces to taste on the day.
For the little ones (or the big kids at heart) Rose will be doing face painting. So, if you fancy being a butterfly or a lion for the day, don’t be shy – have some fun!
Our other guest stalls apart from Moorish this month will be: -
Thistlemist Farm - Soups
Daisy Bank – Pesto and more
Ashuran Spices - Spice kits
Elvis Came To Oakwood
It was hard to believe it wasn’t actually Elvis but Andy Wood’s Tribute act that had the shoppers dancing and singing at Oakwood Clock last Farmers’ Market, such was the power and believability of Andy. Shoppers and stall holders alike queued up for photos with ‘Elvis’ and you can see some of them by clicking here (When Elvis Came To Oakwood). Click on any of the photos to see a larger image.
Andy also raised £135 for St Gemma’s Hospice from shoppers and stall holders. Quite an act! Thanks to all of you who contributed.
If you too would like ‘Elvis’ to visit your next event, why not give Andy a try? You can contact him at guitarmanproductions@blueyonder.co.uk
Get ready to rock around the clock at the next market!
On Saturday morning November 2oth we will be rocking to the sounds of Elvis. We know you’re going to love it.
Please tell a friend, bring them along and join us for what will be a Fab market. Remember there are only two markets before Christmas (see Foody’s Corner below).
Be there or be square!
