Meet the Maker

Our Cottage Markets are what they are because of the creative, clever and committed growers, sewers, knitters, makers, bakers and carvers that live up the road, next door to your Mum, beside the shop, opposite the pub, across the way and above the hairdressers.

They are the people that make up our communities and we bet you never knew they could do what they do, take sugar in their tea and would really like to chat with you next time you meet in the queue at the post office.

Here’s some of our Cottage Marketeers with a few of their, and now our, favourite things.

About Us

Our Cottage Markets help communities develop from the inside out as each village and town creates a market that reflects the diverse skills and talents of the people that live there.
