Bustling markets and picturesque fairs
are compelling; they draw you to browse among the colourful stalls
or watch the different entertainments on show. Collins Guide to the
Markets & Fairs of Great Britain is an invaluable guide book which
features over 250 of the most popular and interesting markets and
fairs in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Channel
Islands. These include general markets of particular ionterst (often
still held in ancient market squares), livestock sales, antiques and
bric-a-brac markets, plus many attractive and unusual seasonal or
annual fairs. The author also
provides a fascinating history of the origins of markets and fairs
in Britain, describing many of the distinctive customs and
traditions associated with them, and explains how markets and fairs
are run today.
