AN antiques market in Taunton has new owners who are planning to open every day.

Taunton Antiques Market, in Silver Street, will become known as Antiques on High from Monday, October 10.

The new company already has stores in Sidmouth, Oxford High Street and Bowness on Windermere in the Lake Distrfict.

Antiques on High's Vincent Page said: "We are very pleased to be able to add this one to our list."

The immediate plans for the site include completely refurbishing it while still keeping it open every Monday.

But the long term plans are to open every day.

Mr Page added: "We have a strategy plan in place which should see Friday, Saturday and Sunday added to the current opening of Monday within a few weeks and things will increase from there.

"We will also be taking credit and debit cards, which we do in all our stores, and offer a unique subsidised rate for the dealers who wish to have their stock in our other stores, without ever having to travel to them.

"We are the only company in Europe that offer such a facility and it works very well with our current dealers, many of whom have already voiced an interest in having space or a cabinet in Taunton."
