How to Beat the Heat at the Markets This Weekend!

We're in for a scorcher! With sunshine and high temperatures on the cards this weekend, it's the perfect excuse to get out, explore your local markets, and enjoy all the food, drink, and unique finds on offer.

But before you head out, here are some simple tips to help you stay cool, safe, and comfortable while browsing the stalls.

💧 Stay Hydrated - Bring a refillable water bottle with you and sip regularly. Many of our markets have stalls selling cold drinks if you need a top-up. Dehydration can sneak up on you, especially while you're out enjoying yourself!

🧴 Don't Forget the Suncream - We know you'll want to soak up the sun, but don't forget to protect your skin. Apply sunscreen before heading out and reapply if you're staying a while.

👒 Dress for the Weather - Lightweight, breathable clothing, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat are all great choices. Keeping cool can make all the difference to your day.

⛱ Take Breaks in the Shade - If you start feeling too warm, take a break under a shaded area or in a nearby café. Some of our markets are lucky to have nearby green spaces too – perfect for a picnic or quick rest.

🍦 Cool Treats Await! Many of our traders will be offering refreshing treats – from homemade lemonade to artisan ice cream. Perfect for cooling down while supporting local businesses.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Look Out for Each Other - If you see someone looking unwell or struggling with the heat, let our Events Team know – we're here to help.

So pack your sunhat, grab a water bottle, and come enjoy a brilliant weekend at one of our markets or events. From Warwick and Rugby to Nuneaton Food Festival and beyond – there's something for everyone. Just remember… stay sun-safe and enjoy every sunny second!
