The news comes as Petworth held its regular Farmers’ Market from 9am to 1pm at the Market Square in the town centre on Saturday and is operated and managed by Food Rocks South.

Businesses within a 40-mile radius of the town enjoyed a bumper day of trading showcasing all the best local goods on offer to local residents.

Traders such as Brewery 288, Noble and Stace Chocolatiers and The Sausage Roll Kitchen were just a few of the businesses at the event. Refreshments were also provided in the Leconfield Hall to raise money for local charities and community groups.

After the event Carol Myerscough, owner of The Sausage Roll Kitchen, commented on the event’s Facebook page: “I had the best day, it was a total sell out so thank you for supporting me.”
