Wallis Edwards selling stockings in the run up to the big Christmas Shop.
Bournemouth’s Christmas Market opens today – and traders are hopeful of a good season despite the recession.
Despite the latest unemployment and inflation figures, and amidst the backdrop of recession, people are enjoying the festive atmosphere and already starting their Christmas shopping.
Stallholder Wallis Edwards, 21, who runs a stall selling Christmas stockings and other festive gifts, said:
“This is our second year of being at the market. We’ve tried to keep more of a range of prices this year, to reflect the recession – but if people want something I think they’ll buy it anyway”.
The annual festive offering runs through until Christmas Eve.
