Market Days CIC is working in partnership with the East Cowes Town Council to start a new market in the heart of the town at the Town Hall in York Avenue.

Kennard: If you feel strongly about shopping local than where better than at a market
Claire Kennard, Director of Market Days CIC,

“Market Days CIC was set up to revive markets in Newport and the Isle of Wight and we are really happy to be working with the East Cowes Town Council who have been so incredibly supportive and proactive in bringing this idea to fruition.
“This will be our first regular market outside of Newport. We believe that markets are so much more than just a place to shop, they are full of life and connection and vibrancy where you can directly support your local producers and makers.
“If you feel strongly about shopping local than where better than at a market where you can buy produce straight from the grower or maker?”
