Helston market returns for Christmas after huge success of summer event

Helston will be getting a Christmas market following the huge success of summer stalls.

The Helston Community Interest Company (HCIC) held a successful local arts, crafts and food market on Sunday August 30th with the attendance figure thought to be well over 600 visitors.

A spokesperson for HCIC said:

"We plan to hold a second market on Sunday 29th November between 11am and 4pm in the Trengrouse Way extension short stay car park, Helston as before. The location has a capacity for 30-35 stalls with over two metres spacing between them.

"We are seeking applications from arts, crafts and food businesses based in Helston and the local area, and are expecting a large interest in booking a pitch.

"If we have more enquiries than spaces, we will hold a reserve list. The cost of a pitch will be £30.00 and bookings will need to be confirmed by the 1st October, with full payment of the pitch fee made by the 16th October.

"Members of HCIC will review the expressions of interest and make a decision about where best to pitch businesses. A reserve list will be drawn up if we have more applications than pitches.

"Once this information is finalised, you will sent full information about instructions for the day and a site map showing your pitch number."
