As we step into the second week of Love Your Local Market 2025, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has helped make this year’s campaign such a tremendous success so far.

The campaign has received exceptional support from Westminster, with endorsements on two separate occasions. Markets across the country have been buzzing with vibrant live radio broadcasts, bringing local stories and energy to listeners nationwide. Social media engagement has reached new heights, with fantastic interactions and inspiring posts flooding in from communities all over the UK.

A special shoutout goes to Ian and Rob at Square Cactus, NABMA’s dedicated social media experts, who have been doing an outstanding job showcasing your events and bringing the spirit of the campaign to life online. Be sure to visit our Love Your Local Market Facebook page to see incredible photos capturing bustling markets, smiling faces, and the wonderful products that make local markets so unique.

This year’s campaign theme, “Made by Markets,” has truly struck a chord nationwide. Market operators are continually demonstrating the power, potential, and pride that local markets bring to their communities — and we’re delighted to celebrate these successes alongside you.

We’d also like to express our sincere thanks to Zapp for their generous sponsorship and ongoing support that helps make this campaign shine brighter every year.

If your market has not yet signed up, there’s still time to get involved! Visit loveyourlocalmarket.nabma.com for all the information you need to join this national and global celebration.

Thank you once again to everyone supporting Love Your Local Market 2025. As we continue through week two, make sure your market is part of the largest celebration of our industry, proudly showing the world that markets are where community, creativity, and commerce come together.

Let’s keep the momentum strong and the message clear!
