It all sounds fantastic.  So much effort seems to have gone into it.  I'm so pleased I'm actually off work this Easter weekend.  I.m looking froward to stocking up on all these goods.

I do hope they've got some Limoncello for me!!

Well done to the TCM and all who helped organise it, even to the weather forecast. The town was busy and looked good. The Ferrari show added to the day, what a great sound! It was good to see the shops building on their Italian connections too

 

Same time next year?

As in the above thread; we all enjoyed it. We did not get a chance to see everything but what we saw we enjoyed. It was good that other businesses capitalised on their Italian connections. In the past with the French Market it has struck me as a them vs us contest, not so this weekend. Run the French Market in the same way and you will be onto a winner again

Thanks for feedback...

A Horsham FrenchFest (French market plus entertainments) is scheduled in for the 14/15th September. This will be the market opearator that we tried in Billingshurst last December (standards looked good) and not the one used to coming in to Horsham over previous years.

The Ferraris worked so well that it would be nice to repeat a car parade as part of this but the French never mada a car with the attraction of a Ferrari...closest novelty attraction suggested so far is 2CVs. Any ideas for French themes activities around the market appreciated.

Piazza Italia 2008: Both the market operator and Ferrari Owners Club are up for doing this agiain next year so if the demand is there.....please keep the feedback coming.

Thanks
