Organisers of the Taunton Independent Market say they want to bring the heart back to the town as the event returns this weekend.
The celebration of great produce is being staged in Hammet Street on Saturday, May 8. It is being organised by Bev and Sarah Milner Simonds, of eat:Festivals, whose mission is to reconnect residents with the productive landscape that surrounds them . Their social enterprise has grown since it started in 2012 to now host 23 events in Somerset, Devon, South Gloucestershire and Dorset each year. In a joint statement, Bev and Sarah said: We know that weekend shindigs, days out and socialising have all been turned on their heads over the past year with plans disrupted and many regular events cancelled. In 2021 we are hoping for the best, but ensuring our plans include a worst-case scenario.
