THERE’S nothing like a good British banger to warm you up on a cold winter’s day and next week is British Sausage Week.

So why not celebrate it by popping down to two of Fenland District Council’s community markets for a free tasting, courtesy of Russells of Upwell?

They’ll be handing out free nibbles of sausages made from locally reared pigs at the markets in Wisbech on Thursday November 4 and March on Saturday November 6.

And as an extra bonus Paul Woodruff of Coldham Fruits will be dishing up free samples of some of their more exotic fruits.

Councillor Peter Murphy, FDC’s portfolio holder responsible for markets, said: “These tastings are among a range of activities we are planning to promote our markets and give a boost to other local traders. Make the most of these ones – and keep an eye out for others over the coming weeks.”
