Despite the deluge of snow last night and overnight, members of Nether Edge Neighbourhood Group ensured the Nether Edge Farmers' Market - celebrating its tenth year - was able to go ahead.

The event, which includes dozens of food stalls, is held four times a year and also includes workshops and activities for people to get involved with.

It is being held on Nether Edge Road and Glen Road until 4pm.

The market has raised more than £70,000 for charities since it was first held in March 2008.
