Great News!! At the time of writing, it seems that, with sensible and appropriate precautions, we are able to open up Silchester Village Market once more. However, it will be a bit different as it will be held outdoors on the playing field. There will be plenty of space between stalls to practice social distancing, so you can view and buy your purchases safely. Plenty of car parking also. COVID-19…

Our October Market was blighted by heavy rainfall but the “show” still went on and many customers braved the elements to bring their apples for pressing, fortunately under cover of a very large gazebo! To get over the horrible weather many hit the bottle and the wine tasting offered by Flowitt Hill Wines was very popular! We also had some beautiful autumn flowers on sale which were quickly snapped up…
