 We're very sad to hear that Bodmin Market on the Folly in Bodmin Cornwall is now closed for business. As a consequence there is a complete market set up for sale.
There's approximately 28 Finmere-style stalls, tarps, clips and 28 tables. Ideal for a new market or as a permanent or temporary extension to an existing market place. Offered at an amazing all-in price. Contact Sarah Horne for more details: 01208 74400 or sarah@roscrea.co.uk

 Public & Product Liability Insurance
If you're running a stall on a market it is essential that you hold Public & Product Liability Insurance. This protects you from any liability if, for example, a shopper happens to get injured and for liability associated with the products you're selling. Most markets insist that you have this insurance in place before you start trading. You only need one public liability policy, this will cover you for any market you operate in. Up to £5m cover for any one occurrence is standard and you should expect to pay an annual premium of around £50.

We think Mary Tissington's amazing. She's just celebrated her 80th birthday and still works on her the family market stall, often getting up at 3.30am and working through to teatime. Quite rightly, she decided that after 60 years on the stall she ought to be taking things a bit easy now so she decided to... take Fridays off! - just for a few weeks mind until the weather improves at least.
More counterfeit goods worth a massive £1m have been seized, this time at Wembley Market. Stalls were targeted by Tokyngton Safer Neighbourhoods Team in a joint operation with Brent and Harrow trading standards. Disreputable traders were having a disastrous impact on honest market stallholders at the market.
