Eccleshall Festival Street Market

 Street Market Stall
The Eccleshall Festival Street Market last Saturday was great fun. It was a lovely warm day with just enough breeze to keep it from being too hot. 

Plenty of people visited the street market and came over to the stall to see what was on offer. There was much interest and several copies of  “Barking At Nothing” were sold, which is great news for The Donna Louise Trust.

The photograph, taken just before the official opening of the event, is of Elizabeth Leaper with fellow local author Bob Stewart who was  sharing the stall to sell copies of his gothic teen-fiction book “The Devil’s Creature in the City of the Dead”. Bob was also making a donation to the charity on this occasion. The event was to be fancy dress so please forgive the bow tie and silly hats!

For more information about Bob’s books please go to:  www.thedevilscreature.co.uk
