BARNET MARKET SITE IS SOLD!!!!
The news broke on Christmas Eve that Mr & Mrs Walsh have sold the Barnet Market site to the owners of 'The Spires'. It came as a surprise, because some traders had been told only a week or two previously that the development planned by the Walshes was still on track. However, the Friends of Barnet Market welcome this news as finally breaking the stalemate of the last four years which has seen a decline in numbers of stalls while the previous owners waited for finance that was not forthcoming. We believe that the new owners will adopt a far more positive attitude to the Market and we look forward to site improvements and new stalls arriving. There will be more news on this development shortly.

I Love Barnet Market!!!
As part of our efforts to help the traders by encouraging people to shop in the Market, the Friends of Barnet Market (FoBM) have commissioned the printing of 400 “I Love Barnet Market” linen shopping bags, which we have distributed to the public.
