“Thank you to all the shops who helped advertise for us.

“The feedback we have had in person and on Facebook has been very positive. Our traders all enjoyed themselves and have re-booked for next year so that is good.”

The organisers think that more local people attended on Sunday with lots of families coming from further afield on Monday.
