He added: “We have got a few new exciting stalls coming in and from a food perspective we want it to be known as one of the best markets not just in Sussex but in the country for local produce.”
Their plans include growing the number of street-food stalls and making the market a ‘fun day out’, with pop-up bars, live bands at the Bandstand, street entertainment, activities for children, and cookery demonstrations on Saturdays.
A launch party to celebrate Food Rocks’ arrival has been organised for Saturday September 17, which will include live music and entertainment.
