"LANGHAM VILLAGE STREET MARKET will be bigger and better than ever. Come and have a fantastic day out on Bank Holiday Monday 25 August between 10.00am and 3.00pm with up to 70 stalls expected selling everything imaginable.

As well as the private market stalls there will be all the usual very popular Village Hall stalls: bric-a-brac; books; tombola and a Grand Raffle with a huge number of prizes. All Village Hall stalls this year will be close to the Village Hall. Food and refreshments will be provided in the Village Hall all day and the Wheatsheaf public house including their Barbecue. Other attractions for everybody in the family to enjoy include two displays by Rutland Morris Men, a Fire Engine and a display of Classic Vehicles. The Village Hall website will be updated with other attractions and further details when confirmed.

The entire length of Church Street between Melton Road and the Ashwell Road will be closed to traffic down to the main car parking area on Ashwell Road. A one-way system will operate again to help stall-holders in setting up before the road closure. Parking, including for the disabled, will be signposted.

To ask for application forms for Street Market pitches email [email protected] or via the website link below or telephone 01572 771115. There are three price bands: £15 for Langham residents, £20 for registered charities and £30.00 for commercial traders and stalls must be booked and paid for in advance. The limited number of stall positions suitable for Gazebos are likely to book up very quickly.

See website: www.langhamvillagehall.org where a gallery of photos from previous Street Markets can be seen and pitches can be booked.

This is one of the most successful events in our village calendar with profits helping to finance our Village Hall (charity number 522341) and allowing other local organisations to raise funds. All profits from Village Hall stalls, tombola, raffle, refreshments in the Village Hall and Street Market pitch fees will be used for Village Hall refurbishments and maintenance"
