Traditional Continental Market to be held at Pavilion Gardens
September 4, 2009
Pavilion Gardens in Buxton is set to play host to its first ever continental market!
On Friday 18, Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September the Promenade at the Pavilion Gardens, Buxton, will be transformed into a bustling market place. Professional continental market traders from France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Holland, Poland wearing traditional costumes will be selling high quality products including Brittany biscuits, olives, Swedish cider, Italian nougat, pungent cheeses, saucissons, Tartiflette from the Alps, charcuterie, fresh breads, croissants and much more! Or, for those of you with a sweet tooth, there will also be freshly cooked crepes. All of which can be washed down with wonderful Muscadet wines from a family vineyard in Frontignan.
As well as the fine edible goods, you will be able to choose from a wide range of products including handbags and leather items, Marseille soaps, lavender, children toys and pashminas. There really will be something for everyone!
Most of the products on sale will come from "the terroir" (the land) of the stallholder, where they are produced by small organisations such as family businesses, farms or small factories using traditional methods, maintaining a high standard of quality!
All of the traders will also wear their traditional local costume from 100 years ago, as well as decorating their stall to represent the area of the country they have come from. The market really will provide you with a true flavour of the continent... open every day 10am to 5pm with free admission.
