The Uppingham Farmers Market, held on the second Friday of every month, looks set to benefit from the increased publicity gained by the town from the recent awards won by local businesses and the Uppingham First Community Partnership's success in the 2010 Action for Market Towns Awards. An Uppingham First spokesperson reports, "There is a significant increase in interest in the market from local food producers and national agencies. We now have a waiting list of producers seeking a place on the market and the National Trust is to join us in September. Given that it costs nothing to enter such competitions, it is a cost effective method of promoting the town" The August Farmers Market will be held on Friday August 13th. |

Work has commenced on the eagerly awaited Uppingham Golden Ticket - Shop Local Initiative, due to be launched in the early Autumn. A local graduate has been engaged to undertake the preparatory work required for the scheme and further details are expected to be published soon. The primary objectives of the initiative are to promote 'shopping local' and increase visitor numbers into the Uppingham High Street. If successful it is also hoped that the initiative may lead to one or more permanent employment opportunities. |
