Monthly
High Street market coming to Burnham-On-Sea
An
outdoor market selling fresh farm produce WILL be held on Burnham-On-Sea's
High Street after all.
Town
Centre Manager Anne-Marie Spalding told Burnham-On-Sea.com on
Thursday (May 18th) that a new deal has been struck with several
of the stallholders to ensure the market goes ahead over the summer
months.
"I
have persuaded some of the stalls to come into the town centre,"
she said.
It
comes after Burnham-On-Sea.com reported earlier this month that
the town's official Farmers Markets would be moving to Garden
World at Brent Knoll.
Mrs
Spalding said this week: "Markets will be held on the last
Friday of the month in June, July and August on the High Street,
with a road closure between Adam Street and Cross Street."
"I
hope that this will encourage more to want to take part."
The
news is being welcomed by many High Street traders, who believe
a market will bring extra shoppers into town.
