Sennen Market

Its Sennen Market day tomorrow and what better way to start training for the festive feasts that are to come than with a lovely yummy bowl of freshly prepared olives from Olivers Olives... or of course you could pop one in a martini should you wish!
So come on down, 9am-12noon, and enjoy a veritable feast of the very best fresh foods that the far South West can offer.
See you there.

There are now only four Sennen Markets before Christmas, and if ever you needed four good reasons to shop locally and buy handmade this year then our little market, 9am-12noon, every Tuesday, for the next four weeks is all four, in one, in a nutshell.
But we also know that a lot of our friends are not able to visit us weekly so another one of our sellers i'd like to highlight who sells online is Caitilin who makes all manner of lovely oil cloth bags from holdalls to pencil ca...ses and make up bags to eco friendly sandwich wraps.
So if you can't make it to the market tomorrow and would like to check out Caitilin's work her website is http://www.caitilins.moonfruit.com/
But for those who are closer, we are open 9am to 12noon tomorrow, parking and entry is free.
Please shop local this Christmas and buy handmade, you know it makes sense.
P.S. CALLING OUR SELLERS... I am answering questions daily now from our market's friends upcountry wanting to buy from their favourite sellers so there is a real interest out there. If any other market sellers with online stores, or etsy stores, would like to be featured please do message me.

MESSAGE FOR SELLERS AT SENNEN MARKET...
You may have noticed that this week's market post had a few people asking how to buy the items on line, so with Christmas coming and knowing that a great deal of our visitors live too far away to visit I am thinking it might be a nice idea to put up some posts linking to our online stores.
If any sellers want to take advantage of this, you can either do single products, in which case i will try to do more than one post for you, or just ...a one off for your website, please message me via this page.
I will need a good quality photo of your products or one of your products, a short description with price and a link to your website or etsy store. Basically I need to be able to cut and paste to make it happen as I dont have time to re-write text or edit photos..
Please note this is for Sennen Market sellers only.
Any questions see me at the market next week.
I'll leave this post up for a few days so please let others know.

attention all stall holders, this may be of interested.

Christmas is coming and here at Sennen Market many of the sellers are beginning to roll out the seasonal goodies, like these lovely locally themed cards that Ruth has on her stall.
We are open 9am to 12noon tomorrow so come along and enjoy a little local shopping this (almost) festive time of year.

Its Sennen Market tomorrow and there is bound to be a few tears as we bid adieu to Hedley and Veronica, two market stalwarts who have been with us since the very early days.
So come along tomorrow, 9am-12noon, and join us in wishing our two friends all the very best for the future.
See you there.

A new page for the Community Centre has been set up, its amazing all the activities that go on in there, did you even know there is a squash court you can hire, so please like and share so more people can enjoy the centre and its facilities.

News just in is that tomorrow's Tea and Coffee morning is being run in aid of Sennen Karate Club. Please come along and support the club by purchasing one of their hot or cold drinks, to sit in or take away, and do feel free to buy something delicious to eat with your cuppa from one of our many food stalls as well!
The club are currently fundraising to purchase some new mats which will help secure the clubs long term future. In addition, to aid the fundraising, they will also be selling raffle tickets to win a prize that currently stands at a guaranteed £700 and increases with every ticket sold up to £1000. Tickets are £2.50 and can be purchased from in the kitchen. The draw is Fri 30th November.

Its half term time, and so far its just a last little gasp of summer weather before we knuckle down to the winter to come.
But don't let all that drag you down, its holiday time and what better way than a visit to Sennen Market tomorrow morning.
Whether you are a local looking for locally grown, more ethically sourced or indeed packaging free elements for your weekly groceries, or a visitor curious to see and explore the works and goods on offer from many of the finest maker...s and artists here in West Cornwall, or little market really is a treat that should not be missed.
We are open 9am - 12noon, we are well signed off the A30 as you enter Sennen, parking is free, entry is free, so what are you waiting for... see you there!

I don't think we've ever called ourselves 'the first and last market in Cornwall', but I don't think you can argue that we are not.
So as I always explain when I get a message asking how to find the market (well signed off the A30 as you come into Sennen)... if you get to lands End you've gone too far and if you are at Lands End you haven't come far enough.
So whilst Sennen village may be small, our wonderful weekly market is anything but with around 40 local craftspeople, ar...tists, food growers and food makers all under one roof, across two floors, here every Tuesday from 9am - 12noon.
All in all well worth travelling to the ends of the land for then, or journey to the beginning of the land, just depends where you are to to begin with really. See you there, you can't miss us!

A delicious array of ‘Sweet Moments’ here this morning at Sennen Market.

What's that you say....?
Richard Bunce, the owner of Hear at Home Cornwall and a Registered Hearing Aid Dispenser (RHAD) will be at Sennen market on Tuesday 9th October offering fre no obligation hearing tests.
Richard has many years experience of helping patients gain better hearing throughout the South West while working for national companies, the NHS, as a locum and as an independent audiologist, so this is an excellent opportunity to pop in and see him to discuss your hearing needs.

Leaves are falling all around, autumn is in the air, and best of all the trees and hedges are full of nuts, berries and fruit.
Its only October 1st, so I wont mention Christmas that much, but now is the time to be gathering and preserving for your yuletide table or if not just for the utter pleasure of an afternoon walk in the country gathering up nature's beautiful harvest.
Of course, if muddy boots and pricked fingers are not you thing, or you just can't wait to savour a ta...sty pickle or a sweet jam, the help is at hand my friends as every Tuesday at Sennen Market you will find wonderful locally made relishes, chutneys, pickles and jams to tempt your tastebuds.
Indeed, why even wait for Christmas? Simply come along tomorrow, 9am to 12noon, buy your self a loaf of freshly baked bread from Jordans Bakery, some relish from Sarah and Finns Relishes and a chunk of cheese from Mr Cheese then settle down in front of a glowing stove when darkness falls and enjoy a delicious local taste of the season to come.

Guest from California wrote this about our market... trying to figure out how to attach it...

Fabulous Farmer's Market, superb products and very worthy of a visit, you won't be disappointed 😊😊

Brilliant Market run by lovely friendly people. So many gorgeous things to purchase. Food and art and crafts. A must for every time we holiday in Sennen.

A great market with fab variety of produce & stalls with a friendly welcome from all. Teas & Coffees too. Our visitors love it as much I do.

Lovely market and some amazing friendly producers but hugely disappointed by a horrible vegetable store holder with a VW camper van. My two year old was very excited by all the fruit and veg and while my back was turned, getting my purse to buy strawberries from a stall he grabbed one. Only to be told by a man standing in front of the stall how rude my little one was and how some kids don't learn manners. I ignored him as i was trying to juggle said child strawberries and money only to discover after paying that the man worked or owned the stall. Needless to say i won't be shopping at that stall again.
