“This is a fantastic achievement for the market, and one which the people of Shoreham can be very proud of. We’ve seen the Farmers Market go from strength to strength in recent times, with an abundance of stalls showcasing the very best local produce that Sussex has to offer. The markets are certainly occasions which show off Shoreham’s character and charm.

“I am also very pleased that Wendy Francis, from the Council’s Place & Investment team, was able to attend and collect this award as she has been instrumental in the market’s recent success.”
