Fiona Asson was selling crab, crayfish and oysters:

Nantwich market is always worth a visit:

I did ask why it had moved and received two answers:
1. It was due to be on the field as usual but drainage work was to be carried out during the festival which then got cancelled, too late for the fair to be resited.
2. It was to involve the town centre more. As the original site was 2 minutes walking time then the town centre was involved anyway !

I did find the producers on my way out at Volunteer fields,poor them being put out of town and away from anything happening.
I hope they return to the old format next year and make it a proper event not be carried on the popularity of the regular farmers market.
Too crowded, not enough on, poor signage in town and generally nothing like previous years. We went on Friday and Sunday too and exhibitors we know were really unhappy because they didn't see many actual buyers and on Friday hardly saw anyone at all in the Civic Hall.
It just looked a bit amateur to be honest although I am sure the new team who put it on did their best. It simply won't survive unless it is radically overhauled next year. I am sure some exhibitors lost money and they won't be back. Most importantly, lots of people who visited, our friends included, won't be back next year unless it improves.
Pictures on this site are great, showing how the vast majority of towns folk and visitors really enjoyed a great free day out.
