Shoppers enjoying the Lichfield Farmers’ Market in better weather

An extra market has been added to the calendar in Lichfield after traders were battered by the weather.

Despite the best efforts of stallholders, the heavy rain and high winds took their toll on the Lichfield Farmers’ Market on Thursday (December 5).

A Lichfield City Council spokesperson said: “Traders tried resiliently to sheet their stalls and display their tempting and tasty produce, but it proved too much for many of them who had to abandon all hope of any Christmas sales.

“Fortunately, every cloud has a silver lining and so there will be an extra Farmers’ Market on the Market Square on December 19 to give loyal customers another chance to stock up for Christmas.”
