Italian Market Coming to Basildon

Basildon's residents showed they loved the taste of Italy when last year's Italian market gave them the chance to sample and buy food not often seen outside specialist shops.

Spring sunshine is expected to bring out the crowds when the Italian market sets up its stalls again in the town centre on Friday and Saturday 28 and 29 March (from 9am to 5pm). Nineteen traders will be selling a selection of authentic Mediterranean food and drink, including wines, cheeses, cakes, biscuits and chocolate.

Shoppers will be able to buy traditional cheeses and cured meats and to sample olive oils, balsamic vinegars, olives, artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes from regions across Italy.

The market will run from 9am to 5pm each day.
