IT'S bigger and better than ever, with something for everyone.

That's the claim from organisers of this year's Hamble Christmas Farmers' and Produce Market, which will be staged in the village square on Tuesday, from 4pm to 7pm.

New stalls include the Hampshire Brewery, which will be selling 15 different beers it brews and bottles, including Great Britain's 2004 Champion Best Bitter, Ironside, and a Christmas beer dubbed Good King Censlas.

A topiary stall will also join favourites selling fresh and smoked fish, organic chicken, a wide range of cheese, olives and home-made marinades, chilled fresh soup, apple juice, honey products, jam, marmalades, mustard, chutneys and pickles, Christmas cakes, mince pies and puds, watercress and Christmas wreaths.

Visitors will be able to enjoy a pig in a bun hog roast and Christmas carols at 6pm, and Father Christmas will also be there to meet children.

All stallholders will be contributing something to a Christmas hamper to be raffled in aid of Hamble Week on the night.

Shops and tea rooms are also staying open, while shoppers can round off the evening with a meal or drink in one of Hamble's many pubs.

Parking in the foreshore car park will be free all day, and additional parking in Donkey Derby Field will be signposted.
