One way to discover the soul of a place is to visit the local market. After all, this is where producers and craftsmen from miles around gather to sell their wares. Here, we bring a sense of the marketplace to The Slow Lane, featuring a number of artisans and purveyors of goods from our holiday destinations and elsewhere – people and enterprises that we admire, and which you might like too. They will tell you their story and, if you like what you see, you can buy from them direct.
