Melton Mowbray, the 'Rural Capital of Food', is looking forward to the first ever Melton Borough Market, being held in the rural market town on Friday, September 20, from 9 am to 3 pm.

A hand-picked selection of stallholders will be offering a range of high-quality produce, food, drink, and gifts and Melton Borough Market will be held every third Friday of the month until November, before resuming again in the new year.

Melton Mowbray station is less than a quarter of a mile from the historic market square, and there are hourly trains from Oakham, Stamford, and Peterborough, making Melton Borough Market an inviting prospect for food and drink lovers in the region.

Created by Melton Mowbray Town Estate, the centuries-old institution in the town that manages its parks, leisure facilities and the town's central marketplace, Melton Borough Market is an addition to the twice-weekly town market, and the other events and performances that regularly use Market Place as their venue or backdrop.

It brings a new kind of market to Melton, drawing in producers and traders not just from the borough and county, but neighbouring counties too like Lincolnshire, and Derbyshire. We're picking the best variety and quality of stallholders available, from street food and homecooked ready meals to meats, cheeses, baked goods, pies and much more.

Dean Rees, the CEO of Melton Mowbray Town Estate

Dean added: "Whether you want fresh, organic, ingredients, high-quality produce, or unique drinks and preserves, Melton Borough Market will have something for you. I want people to visit our wonderful town and return home infused with greater passion for good food, inspired by the choice and quality on offer."
