Abingdon Country Market were on this morning in the safety of the Salvation Army hall.
Abbey Brass were on the Market Place in Abingdon playing carols, but the Christmas Craft Market was cancelled because the expected strong winds were dangerous for gazebos.
Near the Market Place, down the Queen Street alleyway, you can order Peachcroft Farm free range goose and turkey from Hedges the butcher. Hedges were established in 1896, and currently have branches in Abingdon and Oxford (was Covered Market but see comments). Their vans do a lot of delivering but you can order and buy direct from the door.
The Abingdon reared geese and turkeys are advertised widely on Abingdon bus stops. They are to be seen wandering freely at Peachcroft Farm up until the time they disappear in November.
You’re out of date. Hedges left the Covered Market some time ago. Abingdon has the privilege of being their last retail outlet.
In the latest copy of Cumnor Parish News there is an advert saying “ Hedges Butchers is now on Elms Parade, Botley, open Tues – Fri 9am – 5pm, Sat 9am – 2.30 pm” so Abingdon is not quite the last outlet for Hedges after all.
Thanks for the update.
The meat from Hedges is always excellent. The butchers are always friendly and helpful. Get your meat here not from the supermarket!
The Covered Market, replaced the empty units with popup shops for the Christmas period. Plan to refurbish them all to try and get them back in service.
Visited the Elms Parade Hedges, purchased lots in there.
Fishmongers/Butchers/Cheese shop usually very busy during collection time..
