We have launched a new market, starting in November 2019, on the last Sunday of each month run by Shepton Mallet Revival CIC, trading as The Shepton Experience which strives to be 'not just a market' but a monthly event incorporating live music, DJ's, street performances, themed attractions and fun competitions.
Shepton Mallet Revival CIC, trading as The Shepton Experience, is a ‘not for profit’ community interest company. This has been set up by a group of Shepton Mallet residents who feel passionate about engaging with the community and wish to see the continued improvement in the community spirit in Shepton Mallet grow further.
Initially the Company will establish a new monthly Sunday market event so as not to compete with other established markets. The organisations primary aim is to carry out events which will benefit the community of Shepton Mallet with particular emphasis on regeneration of the town centre.
The market events will run on the last Sunday of the month, open to the public from 10am - 3pm, from March through to November with one additional special event. This will coincide with the weekend event of the Lantern Parade on the appropriate Sunday in December.
Other activities will include community led events to encourage residents to be proud of the town and build on its history and community spirit.
The continued success of the market is reliant on the support of the local and surrounding community. Come and experience the hustle and bustle of a traditional town market.
We welcome all independent traders including arts and crafts, fresh produce, hot food, designer-makers and suitcase traders but spaces are limited so please ensure you get yourApplication Formin as soon as possible.
