A COMMUNITY farmers market in Mold has secured its future following fears of closure.

The King Street Mold Farmers Market is held in St Mary’s Parish Hall on King street every first and third Saturday 9am - 1pm and will continue to operate out of the hall following its recent sale.

The King Street Mold Farmers Market is run by volunteers, made up of local producers, who want to promote and champion small businesses and support local.

In what has been a strange few years for the market in the wake of the pandemic, traders were left uncertain about the market's future given the sale of St Mary's Parish Hall. 

During the pandemic, stall holders went above and beyond, pitching up outside in all weathers to make sure their customers could still get their produce. The loyalty and commitment displayed by the small businesses, wanting to do right by their customers, ensured the market didn't succumb to closure.

Shortly after coming out of the other side, traders were then dealt a further blow by learning that the hall had gone up for sale. The news left many thinking the market was certain to close.

However with the sale of the hall now complete, King Street Mold Farmers Market has had confirmation that the market will continue unchanged.

Speaking about the welcomed news, Flint business owner, Elena De Pasquale of Omeda Crafts said: “The King Street Mold Farmers Market is a small friendly market which takes care of its traders.

"As well as farm produce there are a number of crafters who sell the items they make. It’s a great location for a micro business as it is ensured there is no more than one of any craft, allowing you to relax and focus on your table. 

"The traders know their customers to the point it’s a community within a community”. 

The market can now look to the future and is keen to welcome new faces to the community. 

The next market will be held on Saturday, July 1 at 9am.
