So much love to go round this week at Cambridge Markets
We have the perfect kindling to keep those fires of passion burning hot through Valentine’s Day. Whether your love is long-lived and well-tended or new and thrilling, there’s something at the markets to stoke the flames of romance in all its stages.
Should the object of your affection delight in pretty trinkets, pop along to Bowerbird Jewels or Antonia Scales to adorn your amore with well-crafted pieces. For fashion-loving better halves, you’ll find a range of chic clothes and accessories on both days of the market. If your leading lady or lad prefers to be wooed through food, pick up a picnic basketful of treats for a gourmet date or create a masterful, love-laden feast using beautiful ingredients from our wonderful producers. Of course, should you choose the classic love language of flowers, Mayfarm Flowers will be on-hand to help you select the ideal bouquet for your best girl or boy.
Feel the love at the market on Wednesday with handmade, preservative-free goodies to bring some added sweetness to your V-Day from Emporium of Chocolate. Follow up with a timeless bunch of blood-red roses from Mayfarm Flowers, and set the mood with a gentle glow from Verve Candles. Brooke from Verve has a new Valentine’s range that’s certain to set the evening alight with beautifully scented blends, such as the fresh ‘Dior’ with bergamot, mandarin and jasmine, and the woodier ‘Midnight’ with maple, tobacco and cedar.
Saturday’s market has plenty to offer the less prepared Valentine’s gifter. If you’ve left your V-Day present to the eleventh hour, fear not, there’s still time to arrange the sweeping off of your loved one’s feet. Find pretty, shiny things at Antonia Scales or head to Willen Collection for more masculine jewellery. Elegance By A have obligingly taken the hard work out of gifting with their special Valentine’s Day package, which includes a scented candle, reed diffuser and solid perfumes. They also have beard balms and cologne for the guys. Of course, there’s also the usual array of incredible morsels to enjoy at the market or to take with you, and a huge selection of unique and thoughtful gifts.
Ryde Wharf Market is back this Valentine’s Day Sunday. Take your love interest by the hand and enjoy a stroll through the waterside stalls. With more than 70 vendors selling everything from flowers and homewares to sweet treats, excellent Little Marionette coffee, and even bagels, it’s the perfect way to start a loved-up day.
