I noticed that Leatherhead had an Italian market recently, although i didn't get a chance to go to it. Will we be having one, as was hinted before? My husband practically only eats italian food!

| Perhaps we ought to just go for a European Market to keep everyone happy. I do know that their are no Greek markets in Germany. Apparently the Germans have no sense of homous....

| The idea of an Italian market and 'festival' over Easter is still alive and I am looking to meet with local businesses and groups that woiuld like to be involved within the next month. I have a market operator lined up subject to final confirmation. More details once they are sure. Rather than go for a general European or continental market as they are called i am looking to source some other country specific markets for later in 2007. I have contacts out regarding a German 'cabin' based market for Christmas 2007 and am also investigating the possibility of a Spanish market/festival. Hope this all sounds good???

| Sounds good to me. Is there going to be another Fair Trade market again as well. Perhaps we could also consider markets from outside Europe? I think publicity is key to all of this, especially in attracting shoppers from outside the usual Horsham area. It would be good to entice shoppers from Guildford, Crawley, Kingston etc. TCM: how far out do you advertise? M

| The Fairtrade market will be repeated if the people organising it wish to repeat. Regarding advertising we have promoted heavily using local radio and PR primarily targeting the sorts of areas you indicate and down as far as the Coast-and we get visitors from all these places as a result. We also use competitions with prizes provided by the market operators to generate coverage and visits. Printed advertising is always an option but is subject to funding availability. Any event or market soaks up a lot of organisational resources, which themselves are finite, so we are trying to focus on getting a small but quality programme established that makes us a destination for new visitors as you suggest. Europe seems as good a place to start as any but what other countries would you suggest?

How about a middle eastern or south american market. Obviously these are going to be run by locally based people rather than the way the french market operates

Sounds fantastic. I look forward to all these markets. A German market at Christmas will be magical and bring back fond memories. I remember going to the Bavarian Christmas market in Covent Garden in the late nineties with a friend. Little did I know that years later I would marry him!
