Ulverston’s Ma Sharps opened a permanent market stall, marking a major milestone for the local food business.

Ulverston Mayor Shirley-Anne Wilson opened a permanent stall for Ma Sharps, a local food business founded by Vicky Sharp, in the town’s indoor market. The expansion marks a major milestone for the business, which began as a pink mobile trailer repurposed from a vow renewal. Now offering homemade dishes like soups, sandwiches, and cakes five days a week, the stall serves as the company’s main hub, though the original trailer will return for events in spring. The opening reflects strong community support and fulfills Sharp’s long-held dream of running a bakery-style venture.
