Events
August 2021
Harleston Country Market
Wednesday 4th August 2021
You can shop locally for fruit and vegetables, plants and bulbs, sweet and savoury bakery and vegetarian specialities. You can order any of the home baking products at the Market for collection the following Wednesday. And if you're looking for a special present, our members who craft and sew have all been busy during lockdown so we'll have a really good selection every week.
For safety we operate a one-way system, have hand sanitiser available, all wear masks and keep both doors open to aid ventilation. We will also have tables outside weather permitting.
Come and see what we sell - you may be surprised
