"Come in, take a look around and make sure to visit the ‘albums’ to see the full line-up of shops.
"Created during 2020 following a second lockdown due to COVID-19 and to help our local small businesses to continue to function during these unprecedented times.
"Please contact the sellers direct if you’re interested in an item and share the group to help it grow."
