Everyone welcome to what promises to be an enjoyable evening. Ticket application forms on a first come first served basis are available from Sue Leedham at Stowmarket Town Council.

Every Thursday and Saturday in the Market Place!

We hold a twice-weekly street market in the market place featuring a wide range of stalls selling quality goods at competitive prices. In the current difficult financial climate, the Stow-market is the place to shop to save a bit of money so why not go along and pick up a bargain or two!

There will be no Farmers Market in January.  The next Farmers Market will take place on Friday 3rd February 2012.

We are currently looking for stalls for the Farmers and Street Markets.

Following a Board meeting held on Thursday 8th December, the Directors of the Cedars Park CIC are delighted to confirm that the planned £1million Community Centre is on track to open before Christmas 2012.

The Cedars Park Community Centre will give a much needed focal point to the community and help foster pride and a sense of belonging.

It will consist of a family focused Social Club, a large function hall, a range of smaller rooms for meetings and group activities plus a full sized football pitch and changing room facilities.

The CIC needs to concentrate on detailed plans for promoting and operating the centre on a day to day basis and needs two or three enthusiastic volunteers to join the Board of Directors and help with this important task.
