Other stalls will be selling a wide range of products including handbags and leather items. Marseille soaps, lavender, children's toys and pachina! Most of the products on sale will come from 'the terroir' (the land) of the stall holder, where they are produced by small organisations such as family businesses, farms or small factories using traditional methods, maintaining a good standard of quality.
All of the traders will be wearing traditional local costumes from 100 years ago, as well as decorating their stall to represent the area of the country they have come from.
*The Christmas lights will be switched on on the Saturday at 4.30pm by “Peter Pan” from the Little Theatre Pantomime and there will be a full programme of entertainment through the afternoon.
