“We have more than 60 stalls confirmed for the Food and Drink Festival which gives
traders a great opportunity to come and see what a great offer Tamworth has, but also as
a footfall driver for all business in town to take advantage of after such a difficult year.”


New traders are always welcome to join the market by contacting the LSD Promotions
head office on: 01384 877336 or visit www.lsdpromotions.com.


Cllr Daniel Cook, Tamworth Borough Council’s Cabinet member for Economy and Waste,
said: “We are delighted to welcome the Food and Drink Festival to the town this week and
look forward to seeing new traders offering something different for visitors to try.


“The renewed market contract has given us the opportunity to develop a new vision for the
market that will hopefully give us some of the things people have been asking for, such as
a greater variety of stalls and more specialist and niche market events like the Food and
Drink Festival.


“We hope people will help us welcome new and existing traders and give their much-
needed support to our small business community.”


The revamped market will also work alongside the major Future High Streets Fund
development and Gungate project towards the overall vision for an improved town centre
that is fit for the future.
