PEDAL -> Portobello Transition Town

To com­ple­ment Portobello’s already vibrant and thriv­ing High Street, and provide a wider range of organic pro­duce, we are start­ing up a new monthly mar­ket selling local and organic fruit, veg, meat, bak­ing, and more.  Although food will be the core of the mar­ket, we also want to include a selec­tion of local crafts and other organic products. Please con­tact us if there is some­thing spe­cific that you would like to see at the market.

The aim of Portobello Organic Market is to provide the people of Portobello with some­where to buy loc­ally pro­duced organic food and drink and an out­let for local pro­du­cers and retail­ers provid­ing organic food and drink.

By doing this we hope it will:

• Raise aware­ness of, and avail­ab­il­ity of, organic food and drink
• Encourage exist­ing local traders to think about the sourcing of their goods
• Enhance the local eco­nomy, encour­aging local pro­duc­tion and sale

The mar­ket is held in Brighton Park, just 5 minutes walk from Portobello High Street and all the fant­astic shops and amen­it­ies there.  Markets are held on the first Saturday of every month, except January when it will be held on the second Saturday (8^th). The next mar­ket will be on Saturday 2^nd October 10am to 2pm.
