Street markets
The successful monthly Street Market is for local residents and visitors near and far who come together to discover a variety of street food from the latest tasty Beigels and Thai food to chutneys, pickles, cheeses and sweet treats. Come and taste some of the finest beers, spirits and wines in the area or have a drink at the bar or browse the many different gift stalls, clothing and craft stalls.
