TOWN saw its biggest market of the season so far on Saturday. Stalls selling goods from designer jewellery, flowers and food to art lined the piazza area by the Markets.

The band of the Royal Corps of Signals and saxophonist Colin Falla provided the music. ‘We have done quite a few small markets in winter, but we decided to make this one much bigger and they will be weekly from now on,’ said Kay Leslie of Terrace Promotions.

Corinne Bacon of Eunike, who was selling hand-made jewellery and fascinators, was trading at the event for the first time. ‘It’s been brilliant and business has been very brisk,’ she said. ‘I think it’s a fantastic idea and just what Guernsey needs. It’s a really good atmosphere.’

A large part of Market Square was taken up with Les Bourgs Hospice’s As Good As New stand, which was selling everything from clothes and books to CDs, DVDs, cakes, produce and plants. Money raised will go towards the hospice’s redevelopment, which is expected to cost about £3m.
