Made in Church Street? |
Many people want to buy local but aren't sure what's on offer. And many local artists, chefs or similar produce their goods but have no 'shop window'. A one-day Made In... fair would be a chance to address that issue and perhaps even launch a regular series of local fairs. Just thinking about my home street, there are a number of independent shops: floral arrangements, picture framer, local chef and two photographers all making local goods. Then there are the individual homes and behind those front doors are undoubtedly a number of artists and craftsmen making quality work.
But a Made In Church Street might be too small so how about a Made in CA28 - a postcode covering Whitehaven and surrounding places?
Making a brand is all about funding in the end, and Made in Cumbria has had access to some countywide funds. Church Street, Whitehaven, might have a smaller budget... or maybe not!
