The Local Excellence Market, organised by Choose Abingdon, was in town today.

The Mayor of Abingdon-on-Thames, Angela Lawrence, and Councillor Hermann Matheson, were selling wrist bands for next Saturday’s Music in the Park where Angela will be singing the lead in Rule Britannia.

Yvonne, a chocolate artist from Chocolate Tree, was getting people to create their own chocolate decorations.

Q Gardens, up on Milton Hill, are the largest fruit farm in Oxfordshire, and they also grow a lot of veg. They had a fine display of seasonal asparagus.

Designs in Glass helped restore some of the heraldic panels during the refurbishment of Abingdon County Hall. On display they had ornaments, and some of their modern window designs.

More local excellence will be featured next time there is a Local Excellence Market.
