I am very pleased Alcester has at last got a farmers' market.

My shop, Linda Rose Lingerie, has a lot of custom from visitors to the town and the farmers' market will also attract new visitors and also draw people from Alcester's surrounding villages instead of them perhaps shopping further afield.

I think Alcester has a lot to offer in its variety of shops and also a lovely place to visit for a day or so. The farmers' market can enhance this greatly.

Alcestrians can also gain from the diversity of the market and will hopefully encourage them to 'keep trade in town'. Well done to all those involved in making this come about.
