As The Hanley Swan Market & Cafe approaches its ninth year we have been reflecting on what we offer the community. Apart from the opportunity to get together with friends and neighbours; we also have a fantastic array of products and services that includes everything from cakes to travel services, as well as the freshest of produce.

This month we wish to put the spotlight on one of those from the local community and who has been with the market from the beginning- Gwen. She runs the fantastic café that offers delicious cakes, biscuits and the freshest coffee. It is her café that has allowed the community to share time together, something that is often in short supply!

We would also like to remind the community that we welcome requests for donations towards local good causes. Come and talk to us at the market and let us know what your project is about. Since we started we have given over eleven thousand pounds to the local area.

Remember, this month we are again going to extend our offerings even more by having a car boot on the 25th June to run along side the market. This will start at 8am and finish around 12.30. So have a spring clean and clear out your attics, garages or come and grab bargain! See our Facebook page – Hanley Swan Market & Café -for further details.

We look forward to seeing you at the market.
