Made in Stowmarket. You'd be amazed...

Residents across Suffolk are being encouraged to come along to the John Peel Centre in Stowmarket on Wednesday June 1st to discover the range of items that are made within the town.

Open from 9 a.m., the exhibition will not only show the strength of the manufacturing sector locally but also the amount of people still employed making items ranging from lawn mowers to window blinds today.

There will also be Robert Oberhoffer, an award winning chef with his mobile kitchen who will be carrying out cookery demonstrations throughout the day using locally-sourced ingredients to make a range of delicious dishes.

Free sweets are also being given out – as the malt for the centre of every Malteser is also made in Stowmarket!

Made in Stowmarket has been funded by the Mid Suffolk Local Strategic Partnership and is part of the Stowmarket Festival. Details of the full range of festival activities can be found here.
