Some stalls were still setting up when I went round town this morning. There are 60 traders today, in the Memorial Square, down by the Clock Tower, in the Buttermarket and the Cheese Market, and in the Castle Gardens. They're selling high quality gifts - wooden bowls and spoons, vintage garden tools, antiques, woollen goods, beer and gin and cider and smoked meats and bread, and even horse bridles.
I did like the name of one stall - Emily Found A Thing. I asked if they were Bagpuss fans, and he was delighted that I'd recognised the reference. They've come all the way from Ludlow and, like Emily and the toys in Bagpuss, they take old, broken things and transform them into something beautiful.
