Levy Market has made it to the final for the BBC Food and Farming Award, alongside A Small Good Thing (a Bolton-based community greengrocer) and Squash Liverpool (an arts and health initiative), in the category of Best Shop or Market.
The awards' judges (Leyla Kazim - a food and travel photographer and writer - and Mark Diacono - a food writer, grower and photographer) will be visiting the finalists over the next few weeks to decide who should be crowned the winner, which will be announced at a ceremony in Bristol on June 12.
Christine Felton, manager of the market says: "We’re so, so thrilled to have made it to the final three, and we love that all finalists in this category are from the North West and have a community or social focus.
And we're proud to have so many exceptional chefs, makers and producers on our stalls each week.
"We’d also like to say a huge thank you to our customers, as it was their nominations that got us to this point. We’ve had so much community support, so whatever happens we’re absolutely delighted."
