THE organisers of the Christmas edition of Taunton Independent Market have no plans to call the weekend off due to forecast strong winds.

Predicted gusts of up to 45mph are expected to hit the town on Saturday, December 9, which does mean that its not safe for some stallholders to trade from gazebos.

However, the majority of vendors are still expected to attend, and companies operating from gazebos may have to get creative and operate from their cars and vans to bring bespoke Christmas gifts and tasty treats to Taunton for the special two-day market.

Independent Market organiser Michelle said: "We will not be deterred... but we might just not look as good as normal with some businesses trading from vans or cars where necessary.

"We will make our final decisions in the morning, and we will all work together to make the Market look as festive as we can, but safety is always our top priority."

Ahead of tomorrow's festivities, here is a full list of vendors for both days of Taunton Independent Market this weekend.
