AFTER a well-deserved break for Christmas, the organisers of Milford Haven street market are looking forward to another successful season of trading.

Encouraged by the response to its December dates – all of which were accompanied by a host of festive treats, from mulled wine and mince pies to a reindeer rodeo – market manager Byron Jenkins is already working with stallholders on plans for 2015.

“We made an effort to try and bring people into the town over Christmas,” said Mr Jenkins.

The festive-themed markets were made possible thanks to donations from Milford Haven Business Circle (MHBC), the Port of Milford Haven, Milford Haven Town Council and local businesses.

“Each of the days saw a good flow of people coming into the market, however our best day and most successful day was Saturday, December 20, without a doubt," said Mr Jenkins.

“All our traders were happy and we even had people from around the county visiting.”

Since it was established in July, this was only the second date that had been cancelled – not bad for a fledgling weekly market.

And the market team is now working with stallholders, MHBC and other local traders on how to evolve the market and “improve footfall for everyone”.

Milford Haven Market is set to re-start no later than Saturday, February 7, however Mr Jenkins has said if enough traders are willing, it will re-start this month.

The market still has some spaces available, from just £5 a stall, and anyone interested should email milfordmarket@outlook.com.
