Snow job at Blackbushe Sunday Market

If you found it hard going clearing your drive of snow, spare a thought for the team running Blackbushe Sunday Market as they prepared the 20-acre site following this week’s snowfall.

The hardstanding area had to be cleared so that the traders could find their individual pitch numbers and a snowplough would have simply created mountains out of the white stuff and blocked the walkways.  So it was down to the team to clear the lines by hand.

A combination of snow shovels and gas powered torches to melt the ice and some good old-fashioned elbow grease soon got the job done.

Blackbushe Market Manager Tim Vaughan commented “The next two weekends will be our busiest of the year, with hundreds of stalls and thousands of customers looking for Christmas bargains, so we have been working hard to get everything ready for this Sunday morning.   With the weather looking clearer for the weekend we look forward to welcoming everybody this weekend.”

Blackbushe Sunday Market is open from 8.00 am until 2.00 pm every Sunday up until Christmas, re-opening after the New Year on Sunday 2nd January.
