Barton's Garage Market — a great event in the making

Sunday morning just gone was my second visit to Barton's Sunday Market in The Garage on Chilwell Road. This time there was a coach parked in the entrance to help draw attention to the market. 

Let me take you on a wander and a quick look at some of the stalls. This is a personal selection. There were more to see. For the record I spent £10 at the second-hand book stall.

Sunday was hot and there was plenty of competition about — from Wollaton Park and the local Art Trail. The Garage with its collection of vintage buses and coaches makes a great market venue and reminds me of Nottingham's Cattle Market off London Road, only this is much better and much more accessible with The Tram and great bus services (Nottingham City Transport's 36; Your Bus Y5 and Trent-Barton's Indigo and route 20). Plus good car parking. You put all this together and you have a great event in the making.

The next market is on Sunday 1 July 2018 and billed as:

I wish the Barton brothers well. They were all there on Sunday working their socks off, along with their mum — a real family venture.
