BERLINER BUDE
Our Bric-a-brac stall was once again a success last Friday at the market. Unfortunately as there was no Tuesday Notice last week we could not give prior notice. Fortunately it did not stop buyers from getting some good bargains. The next stall will be at the Friday Market on 18th November. We hope you will support us and pick up some bargains, as it will be the last stall before Christmas.
Our cake stall will resume business at 1.15pm on Tuesday 1st November. We sell out quickly so please come early to avoid disappointment.
