A three day traditional French Market will be held at the Grove and Newlands Shopping Centres this weekend in Witham.

The Market of Ameins runs from Friday 1st to Sunday 3rd November and Witham & District Chamber of Commerce hope the event, run by Hugomark international, will attract shoppers from outside the district.

At the market, French stallholders will be selling spices, food and wine, wicker ware, perfumes, silk and cashmere clothing, pottery, cushions and lace.

Witham & District Chamber of Commerce are also offering free membership to all local businesses during November and December.

For further information about the event contact Wendy Harlow on 01376 519440. For Chamber membership contact Ian Cass on 01376 502880
