A NEW three-day Polish/Eastern European Speciality Market is being held in Fore Street, Taunton from Friday.

Taunton is the first venue in the South-West to host the market, organised by Market Place (Special Events) Ltd in conjunction with Taunton Town Centre Management.

Town Centre Manager Lucy Ball said: "This market will add to the quality events programme that we are developing for Taunton town centre.

"We know that there is a growing population of residents from Eastern Europe and it will be great to attract them to shop in the town as well as giving all our customers an opportunity to try something different."

The market will be open from 9am-5.30pm on Friday and Saturday and 10am-4pm on Sunday.

The event will include a Polish Bakery, plenty of food, arts and crafts.
