🎉 Today we’re celebrating four years of Sutton Coldfield BID’s Farmers & Craft Market! We launched the Sunday market in 2022 with a simple goal: to boost footfall on what was traditionally the quietest day of the week. Four years on, we consistently welcome 30+ stallholders every month, alongside live music, free children’s face painting and entertainment. Managed entirely in-house by the BID, the market continues to give people another great reason to visit and enjoy Sutton Coldfield town centre. Happy 4th birthday to our Farmers & Craft Market! 🎂 #Suttoncoldfield

We are proud to deliver vibrant farmers & craft markets, year-round events, and projects that enhance the experience of our town. That visible work matters and we love doing it. But our role goes beyond events. At times, we must also act as a collective voice, advocating and lobbying for the improvements that matter most to the businesses we represent.

We hope our message is received in the spirit it is sent: committed, collaborative, and rooted in care for our community. Link to article: birminghammail.co.uk/news/mi… #Suttoncoldfield
