We are delighted to be back with the team at World Ocean Day on Sunday 8th June. Last year was a huge success and we are hoping to bring more to the event this year with food and drink as well as wonderful craft. Get inspired and creative, bringing the ocean to life in your stall and products.

Please note that this event is held inside a marquee, where there is no access to electricity. The market will run from 10am until 3pm and a 6ft trestle table and chair will be provided.

Please note that the option for outside food and drink vendors will be limited to allow fair trading and must have access to their own power.
