​

By Jayjay Sanson

Once a year Bickering on Sea plays host to a mysterious band of merchants, artisans, peddlers, bards and entertainers. Where they come from each December no one is quite certain, but all of their permits are in order and the Parish Council has given them permission to exhibit - within the bounds of taste and the Old Town - on the proviso that they all leave on the stroke of midnight that announces the 7th January. 

​

The visitor is invited to peruse their wares and tales, but the Parish Council advises holding tight to your purse strings. Who knows what lurks within the market stalls after dark...?
