Following the high profile report on the decline of the high street from the straight-talking Mary Portas last December, Harrow Council has taken the initiative and provided stalls and pitches, totally free, to local stallholders this weekend.
The market has a varied selection of homemade local produce: particularly impressive were the delicious Indian sauces from Bolly Bolly, while Relish the Thought displayed a multitude of jammy preserves. Cupcake munchers were spoilt for choice; from Cake Crumb's green St. Patrick's Day offering to Asha’s cakery's gooey lemon-packed zesty treats.
Harrow Community Farm had fresh eggs and were spreading the word of their plans for a community orchard and the exciting apple days that will be held in October.
Besides the food, there were colourful dresses from Honey Bunch, gorgeous woodwork and rustic furniture, Geo natural soaps and cute craftwork from Crafty Mates.
The market can be found along Station Road and Pinner Road, and runs on Sunday 11th March from 10am to 4pm. Nearest Station North Harrow on the Metropolitan line.
