New arts market for Wokingham

Wokingham’s Town Centre Manager has agreed to trial a Sunday Art & Craft Market in Wokingham, the first Sundays of June, July and August, beginning Sunday June 1st. Trading hours will be 11am to 3pm, the cost of a stall is £5.

The idea is to copy the farmers' market ethos, in that local artists and craftspeople will be encouraged to sell their work, rather than importers or sellers of factory-made goods.

We can interpret 'local' quite flexibly - you don't necessarily have to be within Wokingham to have a stall, just within reasonable striking distance.

If you are interested and would like an application form, please send an e-mail to:

wokinghamarts%yahoo.co.uk

but replacing the % with the character you always get in e-mail addresses. (This is to avoid spambots harvesting the address).
