Thursday, with my Milk & Honey Food Photography hat on, I had the most brilliant morning in the company of the market traders at Kirkby Lonsdale Charter Market ๐งบโจ
This lovely market has been part of Kirkby Lonsdale life since it was granted its charter in 1227 (yes, you read that right, nearly 800 years!). Every Thursday, the town square fills with colour, chatter, and some seriously good food, drink, and handmade treasures.
Here are just a few of the fabulous traders I spent time with from the foodie side of things and beyond:
DC Fruit & Veg โ Big thanks to Dom, the market manager! ๐ Fabulous fresh fruit and veg, and if he doesnโt have it, heโll find it for you. Heโs at Skipton Market today! Looking forward to getting my fruit & veggies for next week's shoot, Dom! ๐
Some Fin Fishy โ Fresh fish straight from the docks, top quality every time. ๐
Lovingly Artisan Bakery โ Beautiful handmade bakery treats full of natural ingredients and love. Find them at Kendal Farmers Market & Altrincham too. โค๏ธ
Italian Food Dal Fiorentinon โ Italian street food at its best. Leonardo, originally from Florence, creates the most delicious artisan flatbread wraps. ๐ฎ๐น
Westmoreland Drinks โ Flavoured gin, whisky, rum and more, all made with natural fruits and ingredients. Perfect for gifts, wedding favours or simply indulging as the nights draw in. ๐ฅ
Provino โ Artisan Italian wines from Albertoโs family vineyard in the Lombardia region. ๐ท
Mansergh Hall Farm Hog Roast โ Slow-roasted family farm pork, perfect for weddings, parties, corporate event or any excuse you can think of! ๐
Just Wuf โ All things pet! Natural food, tasty treats, and goodies for your furry friends. ๐พ
The Chaz Shack โ Gourmet street food thatโs guaranteed to make you stop and stare (and then eat). ๐
Grannyhodge's sewing โ Handmade everything! Backpacks, purses, make-up bags, baby bits, bunting, and even dog bandanas! Any item, any fabric, any excuse! ๐งต
Little Barn Mobile Bar โ Whether itโs an intimate do, a wedding, or a big corporate bash, their mobile bar has your beverage needs covered in serious style.๐ธThey serve some delicious warming drinks on market day.
Goultys Bespoke Boards โ Beautiful handcrafted cutting boards, boxes and more, all made from local wood. Perfect gifts or kitchen showpieces. ๐ณ
โฆand plenty more talented traders waiting to be discovered!
Iโll definitely be heading back up there towards the end of November for a big dose of that Christmas market magic. โจ๐
