The Market Quarter News
Love Your Local Market fortnight 2025 is almost upon us and we can't wait!
The Market Quarter Pontypridd is excited to be part of this year's Love Your Local Market ( LYLM) campaign, a nationwide celebration of community, creativity and commerce proudly run by NABMA - The National Association of British Market Authorities.
The 2025 campaign takes place from Friday 16th to Saturday 31st May 2025 with hundreds of markets across the country joining in the celebrations and showcasing their specialties.
This years campaign theme is "Made by Markets" - reflecting everything that local markets nurture: new businesses, fresh food, community spirit, local culture, sustainable choices, and inclusive spaces. It's about recognising that what we love most about our towns is often built right here, at the market.
The Market Quarter Pontypridd plan to kick off this years celebrations for LYLM fortnight with a very special live music event!
We'll be launching a community art competition "Put your stamp on it! - Pontypridd Market postcard competition", inviting schools and the local community to design a postcard from Pontypridd Market. There are prizes to be won and the winning design will be made into Pontypridd Market postcards. This competition is kindly run in partnership with Your Pontypridd BID (entry details coming soon)
Two community benches will be transformed by local artist, Swan Prints, and installed within the market as an invitation to "Sit and Share", to encourage kindness in the community, a safe space to make a friend or just take time to be mindful.
Keep your eyes peeled across social media where we'll be showcasing the amazing specialty produce and services on offer from our wonderful community of stallholders, from new traders to well established favourites.
The Market Quarter Pontypridd are incredibly proud of their heritage with a market on site since 1805, we always look on Love Your Local Market fortnight as a joyous opportunity to showcase and celebrate our place in the heart of Pontypridd town and its community. We hope you will join us in celebrating LYLM2025.
