NEWS Market Times • October 2015 10 THIS year’s Making Markets Matter campaign has come to an end. All the events were a huge success and helped to raise the profile of markets across the country. The sun was kind enough to make an appearance at the last two events, which were held in Kirkby, near Liverpool and Northampton. Master chef Geoff Tookey was on hand to show the public how to create healthy dishes with ingredients sourced from the markets. Face painting was extremely popular at both events as children and the occasional adult queued patiently to be transformed into butterflies, animals and monsters. The Voucher Vault and Play Your Cards Right were also a huge hit with the public. Making Markets Matter aims to persuade shoppers to visit their local market. The events will be back next summer and any market operator or local authority seeking ways of increasing awareness of their market should get involved. The campaign is booked on a first come, first served basis and a £500 deposit will be needed to secure a date for 2016. If you are interested in hosting the event you should email vanessa.higginbottom@nmtf.co.uk or telephone 01226 352812 and speak to Vanessa or Rebecca. Kirkby Liverpool
