Your chance to have a say on how we can improve the shopping experience and develop our markets in the Somer Valley!

Join us for a free Business Breakfast to help shape a new programme of local markets and town centre events. We’ll be exploring opportunities for indoor and outdoor markets, including both one-off and recurring events, alongside discussing business support available in B&NES and ways to bring more visitors, customers and activity into the town centre.

We’re exploring new opportunities for regular and one-off markets in Midsomer Norton and we’d like to hear from local businesses, traders, producers, makers and event organisers.

Guest speakers:

• Peter Dixon, The High Sheriff of Somerset
• Anna Sabine, Member of Parliament for Frome & East Somerset
• David Gosset, Place Manager – Somer Valley, Bath and North East Somerset Council

Anna, Peter and Dave will be at the event presenting their plans for support and engaging on promoting retail and future market plans for the Somer Valley. If you are a local retailer or market stall holder come along to have your say!

Tea/coffee and breakfast will be provided.

Please bring business cards, flyers, and details of any promotions you have.
