boringal Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 at last, hated it there, to many stalls selling fake goods, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBladesman Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 It's a shame but sign of the times, I hate to say. I've not been for a few years, but I must admit it was a little boring when I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissoftley Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I went twice last year, the first time was the best it took me nearly 10 minutes to walk round. the second time I didnt even have to get out of the car to see all the stalls. Tbh I think ebay has killed the sunday markets off, people can get exactly what they need cheaper ,delivered to the door and without having to push and barge through hot sweaty crowds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natjack Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) http://www.thoresbysundaymarket.co.uk/So the Valuation Office have shot themselves (and us) in the foot by refusing to be a little flexible. Instead of a reduced income from this market, there's now no income at all. It happens all the time with small retailers. They open up, can't generate enough income to provide themselves with a living quickly enough because of the high level of business rates (and greedy landlords wanting higher and higher rents) and close down within months. Meanwhile the so called charity shops are mostly paying nothing, the playing field needs levelling a bit.

bassett one Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 seems to me and with the amount of bookings we get for our festival and other friends of mine that run farmers markets,festivals and small markets say twice a year,this is the way forward for the small traders,differant people each week,move from area to area,sell homemade products whether food or items,public don't get bored and everyone enjoys the mixture of music,dance,shopping ect,and buy off the internet for everyday products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol green Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 what a big shame its been going down hill fast for last few years because of the price hike in rent for the traders when we was all finding things hard. we went to the robin hood one it was mosly car boot, lets hope it gets better.
