DECEMBER 4 will see the return of the incredibly popular French market with a selection of stalls selling leather goods, soaps, perfumes and garlic as well as other seasonal and regional produce.

The traders will share the High Street’s unique seasonal atmosphere with special offers and carols from the shop-keepers’ choir.
