Yup, we only go to the cats protection stall (our cats love their homemade mousies stuffed with cat nip...50peach) and the guy at the wallet/bag/key cutting stall. We used to use the butcher's, but it's gone.... & Although I've not bought anything from there for a while,the couple at the *homeware/pots/pans stall are lovely & IAgreed.
Of the stalls there last time we went, about 2 or 3 had any real appeal for us. Mostly the store that sometimes has leather jackets, which the wife was quite intrigued by.
Off the top of my head I recall the market having few clothes shops, the cats protection stall (that would do amazingly if they had some cats there), a few tat stalls, and… some music stuff I think? I think there was a few craft stalls too maybe. It’s been a while…
Still, not as bad as the time there was a market on in town and one of the stalls was literally just selling Fruit of the Loom shit out of a box, which didn’t really feel all that in the spirit of things.
Don’t get me wrong there’s some good stuff there, but there’s also a few stalls that really don’t have much of a market any more. It’s absolutely important to have a good market though, especially with how ridiculous business rates and rents are these days you need an accessible route for small businesses.
speak to them quite often..
I might have to visit them soon on, my fancy can opener refuses to do its job, so I need an old fashioned little manual one & I'm sure they'll have one.
