10 June- This market has a summer barbequing theme with an emphasis on al fresco eating.
8 July- As St Andrews gears up for the British Open, a gold theme abounds with book signings from Oliver Horowitz, New York Times bestseller for his novel An American Caddie in St Andrews, alongside signings of new children's book Little Tommy Morris by author Roger McStravick, and illustrator Maria Amelia Randall.
5 August- This market provides the opportunity to meet a series of talented local chefs.
16 September- An autumnal market featuring speciality local beers.
Liana Nickel of Balgove Larder, co-founder of the Night Market said: "The Night Market was an idea inspired by our travels and experiences at markets around the globe. We are so excited for the second season of Night Markets to begin."
Produce available at the markets will include beer, gin and whisky from Eden Mill; a range of speciality jams including raspberry, cucumber and mint jam made in small batches by Cochrane's Kitchen; versatile sauces from The Whisky Sauce Co; sweet treats from local chocolatier Watsons Chocolates; fresh seafood from Arbroath Quality Fish; and delicious healthy dishes from Good Food Good Feelings.
Crafts will be on sale from a selection of makers including Nicki Bradwell, a talented local stationary artist and the Object Company, which creates carved wooden objects.
Music at the markets will come from talented local band Wire & Wool, who provide an upbeat bluegrass note in keeping with the lively, relaxed atmosphere.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
