Almost 200 shoppers visited a food and craft market as it returned for the first time this year.

The Meadows Morning Market in Cholsey opened on Saturday after it took a winter break at the end of November.

About 20 stallholders displayed products ranging from stationery, jewellery, beauty items, and home crafts.

There were also foods from Persian, Mediterranean and Swedish cuisines, and freshly baked produce from nearby bakeries.

Janine Wolfe, one of the two co-founders and business partners, said: “It’s great to be back – and it seems I am not the only one to say so. 

“We had a super day and the turnout exceeded our expectations.”

The market, which runs on the last Saturday of the month, will return on April 29.
