A brand new farmers market is heading to Oakham next month.
On Sunday 13 August, The Barnsdale will be hosting its first farmers market.
The venue, formerly Barnsdale Lodge, was taken over in February by The Signet Collection.
The historic building was rebranded as a "refined yet relaxed boutique hotel, at the heart of Rutland's beautiful countryside. Quirky British sensibility meets elegant authentic luxury. Guests will see the old blended with the new, the refined with the comfortable, and the local with the worldly."
The Barnsdale has 45 refurbished bedrooms and offers a range of eating options for guests and locals. As well as their reimagined brasserie 1760, a choice of lighter bites are available in The Orangery and Courtyard, with Afternoon Tea available from 2:30pm until 4pm daily.
On top of these changes to the hotel and restaurant, The Barnsdale team are also introducing a range of activities and events to their schedule.
Next on the list is their first ever farmers market.
The team shared the news on social media: "We're hosting our first farmers market here at The Barnsdale on Sunday 13 August, 11-3pm.
"We'd really like to champion Rutland independent businesses and hero local produce! Whether its fresh produce, arts, gifts and even homewares.
"Pitches will be free of charge, but we do require you to provide your own set up, including bringing your own tables and gazebo. To book your pitch, please email [email protected]."
This inaugural event, championing local businesses, joins the monthly farmers market in Oakham's Gaol Street, which takes place this weekend.
