BUS services have been set up to take villagers from Stockbridge, Broughton and King's Somborne to farmers markets in Winchester on the last Sunday of each month.

Wilts and Dorset bus service 67 runs from Petersfield to Winchester through the villages in the morning and return in the afternoon.

These services, organised by Hampshire County Council and supported by the Countryside Agency, were introduced to offer an alternative form of transport for those people who do not have a car - and to give people who have a car the choice of leaving it at home.

The next chance to use the special bus service will be on Sunday 26 October, with other Winchester Farmers' Markets and bus services on Sunday 30 November and Sunday 14 December.

For more information on bus times ring Wilts and Dorset on 01722 336855 or for details of the markets themselves, visit www.hampshirefarmersmarkets.co.uk
