Shepton Mallet's Friday Market is expanding, seeking bakers, pet supplies, and more.

Shepton Mallet's Friday Market is getting bigger and better — but organisers say they're still on the lookout for a few essential stalls to join the line-up.

The town council has already signed up a host of brilliant new traders, but there are a few key gaps they're keen to fill — and they're calling on local businesses to get involved.

Top of the wish list? A baker (because it's not really a market without cake), a pet supplies stall (because Shepton loves a spoiled dog), and someone selling plants or flowers.

They're also on the lookout for traders selling olives, antipasti, nuts, dried fruit, jams, chutneys, and preserves — basically, all the good stuff that makes a Friday wander round the market complete.

A spokesperson said: "We have loads of brilliant new traders on board for the Friday Market but are still on the hunt for a few essential traders — please get in touch if you can help!"

Shepton's Friday Market takes place every week in the Market Place — and with the sun (hopefully) starting to make an appearance, it's the perfect time to get involved.
