THE taste of Italy will come to Stourport on Saturday when the Real Italian Food Market returns to the town.

The market made its first appearance last year as part of the Go Italia weekend at Stourport Civic Hall.

Authentic Italian ingredients including cheese, bread, olive oil, pasta, speciality meat and hot food, will be sold on the Civic Hall car park between 9am and 3pm.

Italia in Piazza tours the country to bring the true taste and atmosphere of Italy to the doorstep of local people.

Alongside the market, Wyre Forest Company of Archers will also be holding a give it a go archery day inside the hall for anyone to try their hand at the sport.

The archers have been using the hall as their winter residence during the indoor shooting season which comes to end at the start of April.

Civic Group chairman John Caldwell said: “We are really happy to be welcoming back the Italian market again this year as it was very popular last year.

“To have our friends at Wyre Forest Company of Archers here on the day is fantastic, as Archery is a great sport to get involved in for all ages and was very popular in the Olympics last year.”
