A free wellness, health and eco market is coming to Aberdeenshire in August. A Conscious Market sees small businesses join together to help promote a more conscious way of living.

With over 40 stallholders available on the day, there isn’t a shortage of inspiring and motivating businesses. From reiki to candles and kimchi to kombucha – whatever makes you feel good and is good for the planet, will be there on the day.

“Wellness and climate change are important topics at the moment so anything we can do to help encourage this, is worthwhile” said event organiser Rachael Hunter. “After the year we’ve had mental health should be a priority to everyone. It is so important to take the time to look after ourselves and slow down.”

David Smart, Leys Estate Chief Executive, said: “We are delighted to welcome The Conscious Market to the Milton of Crathes. The market promises to bring something quite unique to Deeside and, with a setting overlooking the River Dee, the events field is the perfect backdrop for the event.

“We hope Rachael and all the stall holders a very successful market.”

The Conscious Market will be held at the Milton of Crathes Event Field near Banchory on Sunday 29th August from 11am – 4pm. Free entry for everyone and dogs are encouraged. You can find more information about the event via Instagram and Facebook @slowlivingevents.
