Things to do this weekend

There is the market in the Old Town. A lovely new vintage furniture and clothes shop has opened at 13 Market Place: Helter Skelter Boutique. There is also a the Broadstairs Food Festival.

Kent Food Market, Margate Old Town Stalls

Anyone who would like to take a stall at the August edition of the Old Town Market, please get in touch with Louise: louise.oldfield@gmail.com.

The market theme is Kent Food. It runs from Saturday 29th to Sunday 30th of August from 11am until 4pm on both days.

Yesterday's arts and crafts market went well. Especially like the pretty striped stalls.

The Tudor House was literally full when we got there! Will do a dedicated post to that effect next, but just goes to show what a vaulaable attraction it is that despite being closed, it suddenly fills up when a board saying 'Open' is outside!

local food producers in Thanet?

I listened to an excellent edition of the Food Programme on Radio 4 today. It was visiting the Slow Fish expo in Genoa which is part of the Slow Food movement. They were accompanying cornish oyster fishermen, members of Slow Food Cornwall. It lead me to look up to see if there is a local representative within Slow Food UK locally in Thanet. Looking on the map it seems that Thanet doesn't seem to have a rep, which is a shame. The nearest is the Weald and Kent and is inland.

The promotion of sustainable fishing for the area that serves the local community would be a great concept and could only improve domestic tourism to the area. You've only got to see how well Whitstable has done from its connection with quality local seafood as an example.

I'm still looking for quality local food producers and retailers for the food market in Margate Old Town taking place on the last weekend on the 29th and 30th of August. Pop me a mail if you are interested.

Market coming to the Old Town

The Old Town Action Group are organising a series of monthly markets in the Old Town from May to September. Dates to be confirmed. They're looking for independent food contacts who might be interested in a stall. So suggestions are welcome. What's wanted is quality local food produce for a dozen stalls.

I see from today's Gazette that Broadstairs is planning a festival of food that will go on over three days along the seafront in Victoria Gardens. It will take place next September. Sounds great.
