Thursday is Market Day in Ampthill

Ampthill Country Market stall is on the market every Thursday from around 8 until 12 every week, we close from Christmas until the first Thursday in February.  We find our customers are giving eating baking 'a rest' following Christmas and also as it can be very inclement weather we like to have a rest too.

We have recently moved the stall to the 'other end' as the market is only small (but perfectly formed) this wasn't an amazing distance, but thought it would be a nice place to be.  We have now got some new stands, have made enough room for customers to shelter and shop inside, and have even put some flags up.  It would be lovely if you visit us each week, all of our products are made or grown locally.

Handmade in Ampthill

We have a selection of handmade products most Thursdays on Ampthill.

How about these notepads with matching accessories.

Watch out for new fabric making an appearance, and more designs, perfect for gifts or just to treat yourself.

Days out from Ampthill (Cambridge)

Now that we have some nice sunny days, and Easter is just around the corner, I thought I would remind you that there ideas for day trips from Ampthill, they are all less than 1 hour and 10 minutes away....

I have added them all to a page here
Days out from Ampthill

I thought I would share some pictures of Cambridge, which is a nice easy drive, and has loads to offer, walks, views, river, punting, food, Fitzwilliam Museum, shops, market just to name a few.

It also has a fabric shop, homemade fudge, chocolate making, and of course a Country Market stall.

...and of course if you are around in the Easter break don't forget to visit the Ampthill Country Market stall on Thursday morning - we are there until 12

Ampthill Festival 2016

Every year there is a Festival put on by a hard working committee in the town, it has grown into a 'pop' concert on Friday, proms on Saturday and a parade and gala on Sunday.  Along with an open gardens the week before and a literary festival the following week, quite a busy little town.







Over the years I have been when my son was little and when he was bigger I used help with the teas and makes some cakes for the cubs and scouts tent.  For the last few years I have been on holiday, but this year we were back on Sunday so popped over there.  Thought I would share some photos that my son's girlfriend took.
