New produce market sees hamper winner
Tue 26th May 2015
Winner of Beverley’ local produce market competition, Nina Rose was presented with her prize by the new town’s Mayor last Wednesday.
Nina had completed a visitor evaluation after attending the new produce market earlier in the month in Wednesday Market. Her prize was a generous food hamper of locally produced goods.
Nina said: "I'm delighted to have been chosen to win this great hamper of local food and drink. I filled the evaluation form in when I went to the local produce market in May as I wanted to support Beverley Town Council in holding these food events. I think that the Town Council should carry on with these events, such as the Beverley Food Festival, which I really enjoy each year.
"I think these monthly markets are just as good as the Beverley Food Festival. You can pick up something that's a bit different, such as fresh, locally produced fishcakes, and delicious flavoured cheeses.
"These food events help to bring visitors to the town of Beverley and they also encourage residents to make the most of their town and all it has to offer."
The food market was one of six seasonal events organised by Beverley Town Council to be held over the summer.
Other market dates are: 17 June, 15 July, 19 August and 16 September. Visitors attending the June market can enter a second competition by filling out an evaluation form on the day.
The markets are part of a pilot project to revitalise the Wednesday Market area of the town. The project received funding support from Beverley Town Council and also the East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s High Street Fund.
