    Visited yesterday and have to say looked fantastic. Obvious the weather helped as it was glorious but if anyone had any doubt that people on this town wouldn’t bother showing up you’d be wrong.
    Place was packed there was live music and overall a great atmosphere. It was so refreshing to finally see the town looking vibrant and although there is still unit to finish the glassworks and the square itself look brilliant. Honestly can’t wait for more events to visit if that’s was just a taste (pardon the pun)

    be well for to all involved

    Really busy when I passed through around half past twelve this afternoon. Good to see and hopefully all the stall holders find it's been worth their while. Events like these should help encourage more people into the town which can only be a positive.

    There now. Nice to have something like this in town. Just had some Japanese gyoza and a pint of paulaner. Not cheap but a nice treat.

    Been down twice now and passed through today and today it was rammed which I think is fantastic. It’s been a great success looking at it and hopefully will grow from this and also we will host more and more events as it’s clear to see people will actually come and visit.
    Obviously the weather helps these events but all in all a great success. On a side note I bought some cheese from the great British cheese stall and can highly recommend as I can the dirty fries from the smokehouse

    Just got back, didn’t go in until about 5:30 but there were plenty people still there. Talking to lass who ran the 200 degrees coffee bar, she said it’d been very busy all day and their takings must be at least twice that of yesterday. She also said that she had spoken to a lot of people who weren’t locals and were very impressed with it and Tarn in general. Great to hear positivity and hopefully it can grow from here.

    Not been in but drove near town earlier and it looked packed, absolutely overmoon to see stuff like this working, more for the people who believed in it and to those miserable fukers who didn’t think we deserved to have a town to be proud of :D
