WOODLEY turned continental last Thursday as a popular French market returned.
Stalls offered a range of traditional French goods and services, including cheese, olives, bread and clothes.
Shoppers flocked to stock up ahead of the festive season, and town centre manager Brian Fennelly was delighted.
“Woodley’s markets are always that little bit different, “ he said. “We’ve got great shops in Woodley, and they bring a lot of customers in, but the markets that bring something a little bit different to a town are stunning.
“As we speak, I’m currently smelling French cheese – you don’t get that in a town centre without a market, so markets are fantastic.”
He felt the event had been a success.
“It’s been great,” he said. “People who have come out really appreciate the French market, and the traders always tell me that it has been a good day. They’ve said the same this time – it’s been a fantastic day, and we really thank everyone in Woodley for turning up.”
Woodley have several regular markets. Wednesday is an artisan event, there is a general market on Saturdays, and a car boot sale on Sundays.
