ESSEX MARKETS 2018

Check out the markets listed below for our scheduled visits.  We make every effort to attend as advertised, but unexpected things can, and do happen, such as markets cancelled due to extreme weather, illness, technical difficulties, etc.  Should any of those situations occur, we’ll update the information on this page as soon as possible.  Therefore, we strongly advise that you make a quick check here before you set out with your armfuls of sharpening for us.  We’d hate for you to be inconvenienced!

Rayleigh - cancelled
7th February 2018 - I am very sorry to say that I will no longer be attending Rayleigh Market.  The Town Council's rules & regulations regarding the supply of power prohibits our current method.

If I can find a suitable way to solve the problem then I will post an announcement both on here and on our Fb page, so watch this space!!

In the meantime, you are welcome to bring your items to me in Ashingdon, or book a home visit so you won't even need to leave the house (minimum £40 spend). ​
