OUR first event in 2016 - the tenth year we will have been operating will be tomorrow (Saturday, January 30) when we will be implementing some changes: for the first time we are extending our opening hours by 60 minutes from 9.30am to 12.30pm: secondly, we will not be attaching themes to each monthly market but only to extra special ones (for example, this year we hope to have a Steam Railway theme for one of our events later in the year) and we hope to have more car boots on the field attached to Hanley Swan village hall; and thirdly we have changed our name from Hanleys Cafe & Market to Hanleys Market & Cafe - a small change but one that indicates that the stalls selling food (including cheese, cakes, buns, fresh bread and fresh vegetables), cards, fancy goods, jewellery, plants etc take up the major part of the event. But, of course, there remains our cafe area where you can chat to friends over fresh coffee and one of Gwen's delicious home-baked cakes.

All profits are donated to community projects.
