Winter weather has arrived, so it is time to wrap up, brace the cold and make a trip to Laidlaw Park on Sunday to enjoy the Farmers/Car Boot Market and stock up on provisions for winter feasts.

Customers visiting the market can select from a huge range of products to build hearty and sustaining snacks, soups and family feasts.

Now is the time when we can prepare wonderful meals to comfort our family and protect them from the winter ailments.
