The Axminster Guildhall is already preparing for Christmas this year, advising stall holders that bookings and location preferences will be on a first-come-first-served basis.

This will be done through an online portal. It said tables at the hall is currently 50% booked.

Stall holders can receive a refund for cancellations made up until October 31.

Changes have been imposed by the East Devon Council requiring those selling food, edible items, handmade bath essentials, and dog treats to have specific business and hygiene documentation.

Sellers are required to have public liability insurance, and proof of these must be shown before any stalls can be set up at the market.

Failure to produce documents will result in banned participation with no refund.

Stall holders, after completing the unloading of their products by 9.30am, must relocate their vehicles to the Co-op Car Park for customer parking space.

Two tables of different sizrs will be provided for use at the Guildhall, and for those who require electricity, stations positioned around the perimeter of the hall have been arranged.

The gates open at 9.30am and the market officially begins at 11am from December 1.
