The Sneaky Pint Launched

The Sneaky Pint was launched on 13 September 2009 at Catterick Sunday Market.

Hundreds of pints of Wensleydale Brewery's Semer Water golden ale were served at the first and only Hoop-la Bar in the country.

The restored Hoop-la fairground bingo stall had been in the family of Edward Bliss (who also trades at Catterick Market) for over 40 years and has been a popular favourite at fairgrounds across the North East.

It is a beautiful stall with the original features, canopy, lights and seats and can be seen right from the other end of the market. Even those that don't fancy a Sneaky Pint still visit to see the enchanting structure.

But most people do fancy a Sneaky Pint, particularly the Dads and husbands who feel they've shopped enough and want a sit down and a pint!

The Sneaky Pint is just one of the many unique experiences that visitors can enjoy at Catterick Sunday Market - an experience as far away from supermarket shopping as you can get!

Michael Jackson mourned at Market

Northern Echo coverage of the Michael Jackson Shrine set up at Catterick Sunday Market, the Sunday after Michael Jackson's death. Hundreds of mourning fans signed the Book of Condolences which will be returned eventually to Michael's family in the States.

Rest in Peace our Jacko X

CATTERICK MARKET SCOOPS GREEN AWARD AT WESTMINSTER


Staff and traders at Catterick Sunday Market are celebrating today after scooping the 'runner up for the North' award in the 'How Green is Your Market' competition.
The award was set up by the National Market Traders Federation in collaboration with Friends of the Earth in an attempt to encourage markets and traders to become more environmentally friendly.

Some of the green initiatives that Catterick Sunday Market has pioneered include planting a market forest of 8000 trees, setting up an onsite natural reed bed water treatment plant which treats all the waste water and sewage from the site, recycling of 60% of the markets waste, use of wind up technology instead of battery, composting of fruit and vegetable waste and re-use of plastic crates.

Market Manager Greville Worthington, is delighted with the big win. He says "we have been working extremely hard over the last 10 years to limit the environmental impact of the market. This award recognises the commitment of the staff, the traders and the customers and we intend to do even better next year!”

Greville will travel to the Houses of Parliament in London to accept the award on Thursday 20th November.
