Good choice of stalls with some great food offerings. Bhajis and Samosas were delicious as was the walnut bread. And then a glass of wine from Martinez at the end of the market

Brilliant market for a potter round to sample outstanding food and drink and get some lovely food to treat yourself at home. Also some other great producers selling jewellery, art, plants, clothing etc. There;s usually a few buskers and some live music on the bandstand as well. It's just a lovely way to unwind and the vibe is really relaxed and friendly. Someone mentioned it was overpriced - it's an artisan market, not an everyday get your groceries cheap type of market and the prices reflect that. I think they're reasonable for the quality on offer. Others have mentioned there are hardly any stalls. That was true of the first few events that were held, but it rapidly expanded and now the stalls completely fill the whole of The Grove. But, there are a few stalls on the Grove on Saturdays - fruit and veg, local Indian food and so on, some of which also appear at the monthly Sunday market. Also it sometimes gets cancelled or suspended for bad weather, and at fairly short notice. That might be the source of confusion.
