Ooh la la! French food market from Normandy is coming back!
Following last year’s successful visit to Hereford, Ross-on-Wye and Leominster, the team of traders Marche de France are returning to the county later this week.
But this time they are due to visit other towns where they’re expecting an equally warm welcome.
They will visit Bromyard this Thursday, March, 15, Ledbury the following day, Friday March 16, and Hereford this Saturday, March 17.
Once again, as they did last year, they will bring their famous high quality range of produce direct from producers in Normandy, offering cheeses, charcuterie, and the bakery stall will be baking onsite to offer visitors the wonderful smell of baking baguettes, hot croissants and pains au chocolat.
Shoppers will also be able to buy soap from Marseille, and, new this year, jewellery and handmade bedcovers.
This is an opportunity for local people to enjoy a touch of France on their doorsteps and get a taste of some lovely French products - as well as the chance to practice their language skills as the traders will be happy to chat to shoppers in French.
Market will set up as follows:
- Bromyard on Thursday, March 15
- Ledbury on Friday, March 16
- Hereford High Town on Saturday, March 17
The market will be open for trade from 9am to 5pm on each of these days.
Motorists are being advised that road closures will be put in place to allow the markets to take place:
- Market Square and Broad Street, in Bromyard, will be closed from 6am to 6pm on March 15
- No parking will be permitted in the parking bays in High Street, from Market House to the pedestrian crossing from 6am to 6pm at Ledbury on March 16
