We are aware that people are tightening their belts but it is worth saying that we still offer good value for money across the craft, bakes and preserves and plants displays. We are also currently reducing some of our prices to enable our producers to make room for new creations.
Why don’t you give us a try? It’s a friendly, informal and free event and we will be very happy to see you. There are refreshments available as well as a wide range of hand-crafted goods to buy. Our crafts, bakes and plants are specially displayed each week so you will be spoilt for choice! We take card payments to make your shopping experience even better! You can now like and follow us on facebook: ‘The Glenfield Country Market’ too! Thank you.

World Plumbing Day: 11th March
Ignoring a leaky loo could treble water bills, warns UK plumbing register
TO MARK World Plumbing Day on Saturday (11 March), WaterSafe, the UK’s register of approved contractors working with drinking water, is warning people in Leicestershire not to ignore a leaky loo.
Even a small trickle can waste up to 400 litres of water every day and cost the bill payer up to £400 extra per year*, meaning homes and businesses are throwing money and water down the drain.
It’s easy to check if your loo is leaking. The water may run or drip down the back of the pan and into the toilet bowl, or you may hear your toilet refilling randomly when you haven’t used it for a while.
If you’re not sure, wait 30 minutes after flushing, then run a piece of tissue around the back of the bowl. If it becomes wet this may indicate a leak. Other signs to look out for are dripping overflow pipes, located on an outside wall. If you’re still not sure, some water companies give away free strips to test for a leaky loo.
You can read more about leaky loos on WaterSafe’s website (www. watersafe.org.uk).
