Norway bay

The Bristol Market has switched up their location this summer to the public beach in Norway Bay, in a bid to attract more customers, and vendors.

Donna Courchesne, representing Ferme Andrew Simms Farm, along with Jennifer Davies of Mayhew Family Farm, explained that it was a group decision to move from their previous location at the Wyman rest stop on Hwy. 148.

After starting at the old location on the May 24 weekend, they will be at the new location for the rest of the season, from 1 – 6 p.m. on Fridays.

Having previously hosted the odd pop-up market down in the Bay, it was a natural move, and one that Courchesne hoped would bring in more customers with all the foot traffic.

“So far, so good,” she said.

The market is always looking for new vendors as well.

“They can just show up with a tent and we’ll welcome them,” Davies said.
