Will the heat wave come to the mar­ket!? Who knows, but it does­n’t mat­ter either way because there’s always a warm atmo­sphere and lots of fun to be had at the market.

There’ll be live music and face paint­ing of course.

Our loy­al reg­u­lars are there with their organ­ic meats, breads, fruit & veg, oils, cheeses, candles, soaps and garden fur­niture, togeth­er with crafts, out­door garden fur­niture, plants, nat­ur­al rem­ed­ies & ther­apies. The list goes on. Amazing variety!

Check out the PEDAL web­site for more details and for a full list of stall­hold­ers.

Posted on March 19, 2012 | Leave a comment

Brighton Park

Quickly fol­low­ing on the suc­cess of the March mar­ket with increase in foot­fall and stall hold­ers, we are going to relaunch the mar­ket on Saturday 7 April. It is Easter week­end and as such there will be numer­ous enter­tain­ment events all day, includ­ing an Easter egg hunt. There will be live music, a cir­cus act, hair braid­ing, face paint­ing and a sci­ence fest­iv­al cour­tesy of Scottish Parliament funding.

We now have a centre piece in the form of a large teepee tent, sup­plied for free by Nordic Outdoor, and all new ban­ners, posters and flags pro­mot­ing the new name, Portobello Market. Each month a new A‑board will advert­ise the next mar­ket’s entertainment.

COME ALONG: A large pres­ence is needed to swell the num­bers and encour­age com­munity par­ti­cip­a­tion in all the events, so please do make time to come down and vis­it. It is hoped, but not yet con­firmed, that the Evening News will run an art­icle pri­or to the market.
