New Market in Bath

[Somerset Community Food]

Bath Riverside Markets, in association with Bath's Riverside Leisure Management Ltd, are launching a regular Sunday market, The Best of the West, along Bath's riverside park and walkway from Pulteney Bridge to North Parade Bridge with Bath Abbey and Pulteney weir as a scenic backdrop. The market will be widely advertised in the region. From 2013 we will also be arranging periodic themed markets to co-incide with other Bath festivals and events.

The Best of the West will be a large market with an eclectic mix of quality foods, drink, crafts, art and collectables made in Bath, Bristol, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire. Regular markets will start later in the summer but a trial market will be held on Bank Holiday Sunday 26th August from 10am to 4pm.

Riverside manager Andrew Hemmings says: "We want this Sunday market to become a major visitor attraction selling only high quality local produce and products. With the riverside cafes and restaurants 
selling food and drink, including the novel Bath Butty floating café in a narrowboat, street performers, buskers and boat trips along the river there will be something for the whole family."
