Regretfully, the limits placed on the number of stallholders due to social distancing requirements, resulted in 10 potential stallholders being refused entry.
By 9 o’clock, the Martello Field was occupied by the stallholders potential customers who followed the one-way system in place around the arena investigating the numerous opportunities for a bargain.
Stallholders included those selling bespoke clocks, cards of local views and several selling plants – there seemed to be countless tomato plants, as well as standard roses, hanging baskets and bedding plants – whilst other stalls offered some less common wares such as fishing rods, a guitar, a barometer, model yachts, sewing machines, pushchairs, and the kitchen sink!
