What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. At midsummer, events in Hedgerley stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
