25 Years of Haddington Farmers' Market

Lodged by Martin Whitfield Standard Motion 19 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes that April 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of Haddington Farmers’ Market; understands that, since the market started on Haddington’s Court Street in April 2000, it has welcomed hundreds of small businesses as stall-holders and thousands of consumers, who have enjoyed the opportunity to purchase a diverse range of fresh, high-quality produce at the monthly market; notes that Haddington Farmers’ Market also made history as the first farmers’ market from the UK to trade abroad, at the Comice Agricole in Aubigny, France, Haddington’s twin town, in 2008, 2010 and 2012; congratulates the organisers, stall-holders and everyone else who has supported the market over the last 25 years on reaching this significant milestone, and wishes them all continued success for the market’s future.
