The garden centre invited them to the site after Bromsgrove Council said the market would not be able to accommodate the market during a project to revamp the town’s High Street. 

Worcestershire Farmers’ Markets secretary Maureen Marklew told the Bromsgrove Standard: “The council told us when it started excavating the High Street that it could not accommodate us and Mr Webb was good enough to invite us to the garden centre and we haven’t looked back.

“The market has gone from strength to strength - we now have 17 stalls there and we are looking forward to seeing customers we used to see in Bromsgrove, along with welcoming new ones.”

An article on the Bromsgrove Standard website says local residents had complained that many stalls that were there before the High Street resurfacing began had not returned to their pitches.

The council’s economic development spokesman Cllr Mike Webb, said he hoped more traders would return and that the farmers market would take advantage of the High Street’s newly-created events area.
