An street market in Ipswich, organised with a group of indie retailers including a Bira member, has had successful relaunch.
The Saints Market, featuring 21 stalls in St Peter's Street, was deemed a great success, despite by the wet weather.
It was held on Sunday, June 20, following a period of inactivity due to the pandemic.
Stallholders included Crafty Baba, LoveOne, Purity Beauty Salon, Italian Shirt Shop, The House in Town, Mauds Attic, Applaud Coffee and I-Scream Parlour
