I love a good market, as you know. I saw advertised that there was a Continental market in my town centre from today until Saturday. Yes, I went into town for a look around. It was okay ….not as many stalls as I would have thought selling gifts….we are just a few weeks away from Christmas after all ! Most of the stalls were selling food …from all around the world. Lots of things looked yummy but they were so expensive for what they were. Little more than snacks yet being charged as more than you can get a whole meal in a pub. Not surprisingly, these stall were not selling very much. Do you have different / specialised markets near you ?

I do love a farmers market. They have a monthly one where our caravan is. I try to go to it if I’m at the caravan.

@Traceyjayne I suppose the one here is probably over for the year. I don't go that often. The produce is expensive

Stalls charging more than a whole pub meal for little snacks is rough... no wonder nobody was buying. Kinda sus pricing for a market

It was just after lunch time when I was there do they wouldn’t sell a lot more got a few hours. Just imagine all that food just sitting around, being kept warm …..no thank you.

I imagine we do, but I can’t really think of one nearby. I know there is one near my sister that is really cool, but the prices were always more than I could pay.

Yes, I rarely buy anything due to the prices. I do love to have a wander around though ….

It's fun looking even if you don't buy anything.

No wonder they are not selling much. We only have farmers market twice a week.
