The Wantage town market has enjoyed another big turnout even after over seven centuries.

Markets have been held in Wantage since 1246 with some current traders even coming to the town for over 30 years themselves.

One of the traders spotted at the recent market was Harry's Tipsy Mare which is run by family duo Shirley and Niamh McGrath.

The pair run a converted Rice Horse trailer and offer refreshments as well as snacks and afternoon tea.

“It’s a long-standing tradition that we are very proud of,” said town centre manager Andrea Yates previously.

“We like to encourage local small businesses to attend, made up of local people who are crafting and creating in their homes or home workshops."
