“We would love people to come and see us at the farmers’ market and tell us about their coronation weekend.

“The stalls at the market are great and we are looking forward to sharing details of them with our listeners as it is no ordinary market – there are really interesting stalls.

“We would love to meet as many people from Winslow and the surrounding area as we can, so do come down between 10am and 1pm and we’ll be delighted to chat to you on or off air.”
