SEPTEMBER’S Colne Town Council market is taking place on Saturday.

The aim behind the markets is for anyone to try their hand at the trade for £15 a day to sell whatever they like, within reason.

A council spokesman said: “We want to give people the opportunity to dig their trading toes in the water.

"We hope to create new and exciting offerings for shoppers in Colne without stallholders having to commit to take a regular slot.

“We know there are many people who are perhaps hobbyists, crafters, bakers, or collectors who would like to make some money from their pastimes.

“Perhaps you don’t want the hassle of setting up a business, perhaps you usually sell via online forums, like E-bay, or perhaps you are a charity or community group.

“The Colne Town Council markets give you a platform in the town centre without any future commitment.

“We’ve arranged for the stalls to be pre-erected.

“We supply a table and a chair and at the end of the day, we pack it all away.”

The markets will open from 9am to 4pm in the town centre.
