Treacle Market

It is the sixth Treacle Market of the year! There is a chance of showers, but the temperature is set to be a nice 18C.

Given the summer weather, this Treacle Market is set to be a big one for gardeners. With tools, pots, plants and more on sale in particular abundance.

Having just passed the longest day, this month's Treacle Market afterparty is set to last well into the evening.

The Button Warehouse will continue their post-music live music tradition, and have an acoustic guitarist along with fresh mezzo to nibble. Book here.
