Councillor Harsha Desai, Cabinet Member for Economic Development, Communications, Licensing and Events at Chichester District Council, says: "We're delighted to once again welcome the Antiques, Vintage & Decorative Arts street market back to our wonderful city!

"As part of our Events Strategy, weare keen to attract people to our beautiful district and showcase how much it has to offer. People have previously told us that they would like to see more diverse and quality markets. The introduction of the Antiques, Vintage & Decorative Arts markets has been a huge success and proved to be a popular addition for our residents and visitors, complementing well with the historic setting of the city.

"As a council, we're delighted to support this event and hope to see even more people coming from across the district and further afield to enjoy this fun, vibrant market!"

Market organiser, Jackie Edwards of ACVR Events, says: "The market is the ultimate in sustainability, as the majority of items are re-purposed and saved from landfill. Our expertise is in arranging speciality markets in historic market towns and cities in the south. We have a range of established dealers and enthusiasts who trade with us and who want to share their passion for all things quality and vintage. And of course, we always love coming to wonderful Chichester.

"In addition, we would like to hear from anyone whether an antique dealer or a start-up business/ entrepreneur who would benefit from having a presence in a very busy market then please get in touch. Artists and makers are also welcome to join us to showcase their work and take commissions, whether retro or contemporary. Please get in touch by emailing: jackieedwardsmarketing@gmail.com."
