AFTER 45 years of being a regular stallholder on Bedford Square in Tavistock, Rising Sun Nurseries Plant and Garden Centre is also planning to hold its own produce and craft market once a month at its premises in Harrowbarrow.

The Elias family at the Rising Sun is hoping to start the event in August with a variety of local producers and craftspeople.

Alan Elias said he wanted to provide an outlet for new local producers as well as the more established producers with the hope of providing an interesting market full of variety with everything from home-grown chillies to jewellery.

With a coffee shop on site and enough space to adequately accommodate around 15 stallholders, Mr Elias believes it could be an interesting addition for the business which would also benefit the local economy.

Anyone interested in having a stall at the new market should call Sarah on 01579 351231.

Rising Sun Nurseries Plant and Garden Centre stocks a wide range of herbaceous plants and shrubs, compost and pots including a new range of ceramic pots.
