Besides going for a curry in Chesterfield and visiting Argos, we really haven't explored…read moreChesterfield. It is quite easy for us to just nip into the Tesco or Pets at Home and never really make it into the town centre. However, we had a day off together (shocking, I know) and I suggested that we go into town to update our information at the bank and see if we could get breakfast at a cafe somewhere. We found parking around the council offices, but I will probably never drive in myself as I drive a land yacht that would struggle around the corners and getting into a spot without taking up two spots. However, parking is cheap as we ended up spending most of the day wandering around Chesterfield. As we were coming out of a cafe walking back toward the bank, we noticed some market stalls further down, so we decided to continue on. It was a Friday, so not everyone was there, but I have to say that it is still quite a large market with stalls either side of the indoor part of the market. There fruit and veg stalls, there was one stall with sausage rolls and pies, and then there were loads of stalls with clothing, housewares, cards, tools, flowers and plants, and sweets. We thought the indoor part of the market would be larger than it actually was, but there are some meat stalls as well as a cupcake stall. And then there is a cafe, a couple of places selling clothes, accessories, make-up, sweets, and yarn. On the outside of that indoor part, there are some cafes, a cheese store, and a haberdashery store. It is a lovely market and I have to say I was very impressed at how clean the market square was! We plan to go back this weekend a bit earlier in the morning to have breakfast and then do our grocery shopping at the market rather than the supermarket! Not sure if all the stalls take cards, so best to stop at a cash point nearby if you are tempted by all the items on offer.

Chesterfield is a large market town. It's been so since a settlement was set up by the Romans…read moresometime around 70AD. It's hosts a standard market on Monday's, Friday's and Saturdays and on Thursday's it has the popular flea market. The standard markets is full of traders selling everything from clothes, to books, groceries, electricals, stationary, lingerie, and cd's etc. The flea market generally consists of second hand items and there are some real bargains to be had. There's not many market towns left in the UK today and towns are becoming more and more the same with chain store shops taking up the high streets. The markets provide variety and colour to the town as well as atmosphere and should be supported and appreciated by all.

Moseley farmers market is an award winning market held in the central square of Moseley. I had been…read moremeaning to get down for months before I finally managed it this Saturday... And I wasn't disappointed. The market is exactly what you would want a medium to large sized market to be. Offering a huge range of locally sourced goods sold to you by the actual producers of the items, you can get most things you would need to stock up the fridge, freezer and cupboards (with a good amount of locally made crafty things too). It's in a pretty setting and has a lovely community feel to it. We managed to find parking in the small shopping area just up from St Mary's Row at around 9:15am, but parking could be a bit of a nightmare if you were getting here later. The square area offered braces of pheasants for £6, cheese, wine, condiments and artisan food products and the High Street area (which we hadn't realised was there until we were leaving - D'oh) offers more of a crafty element. We had a nice little poke around the stalls and chatted to many of the business owners about their products and they were more than happy to talk to us and advise where the items are made and the ingrediants that go into them. We got some lovely locally made fizzy red wine (Did you know there are vineyards in the Midlands?) for £10 a bottle, some hot sauce from Pip's and was very tempted by cakes and unusual scotch eggs... We are definitely planning to go back. If you haven't been, you must go. Get there early if you're planning to drive but the buses down to Moseley drop you off right in the thick of the action, do that might be the best idea.

Moseley Farmers Market takes over the village green every fourth Saturday of the month, and holds…read morethe perfect little community vibe for all who love to indulge in fresh food and organic produce. I've been attending the market for over three years now, and I rarely miss a month. The stalls always draw me back when I'm needing a healthy variation to my diet, and the price range is perfect value for money. Specifically regarding the Beans & Leaves stall, which sells a wide range of both coffee beans and loose teas. Most of these infusions rarely reach the £4 mark for 100g, which results in more than enough tea for two for several months! The tea stall holder himself is a bubbly yam yam who'll immediately strike up a conversation. It's just a shame that his stall is on the windiest part of Moseley, meaning that a lot of his tea ends up at the other side of the market! But of course, on first visit, you'll want to sample everything. Whether this be jam, ostrich burgers, bakery, alcohol or cheese (in fact, I highly recommend the Warwickshire Truckle), there's literally something for everyone. I've also tried a range of unlikely produces which sometimes appear at the market, such as a piece of fruit called a quince, and a green tea cake, both equally as delicious as the other. As a worthy winner of "best farmers market in the UK 2012", Moseley Farmers Market is a treasury to Birmingham and brings a tasteful locality to the streets of Moseley.
