The fairs are being organised by the centre team and will run on the second Saturday of each month, the next ones being September 11, October 9 and November 13.

From Sunday November 28 there will be weekly pre-Christmas markets held in the ballroom of the Court House. The fairs are designed to encourage residents and visitors to the town to support local traders.

Visitor information centre manager Liz Healey said: "We are so pleased to be hosting the craft fairs at our new look visitor information centre, as we now have a lot more space, after the renovation work which was completed during the last lockdown the room lends itself to shows and exhibitions.

"On display also is the model of the 1916 Runaway Tram.

"Pop along and say hello to the knowledgeable team and pick up a few walking leaflets at the same time and ask us all about local information as there is plenty to see and do."
