The event at Sankey’s Corner yesterday (8th August) was the first in a pilot series to gauge demand for a more permanent addition to the town’s calendar.

It was organised as a partnership between Lichfield District Council and Burntwood Town Council following the last minute cancellation of a previous market.

Cllr Doug Pullen, leader of the district council, said:

> “Thanks to all those involved in making the new Burntwood market happen.  
>  
> “Hopefully this will be the first of many.”  
>  
> Cllr Doug Pullen, Lichfield District Council

Burntwood Town Council leader, Cllr Sue Woodward, said:

“There was a really good turnout at Sankey’s Corner for our pilot market.

> “It was good to see the partnership between Burntwood Town Council and Lichfield District Council bearing fruit.”  
>  
> Cllr Sue Woodward, Burntwood Town Council

The next market is scheduled to take place on 12th September. For more information on reserving a stall, email [info@bertandgerts.co.uk](mailto:info@bertandgerts.co.uk).
