Our 2018 3 Bags Full Wool Market drew people from all over Cornwall and Devon again, with over 550 people attending, 220 of whom arrived in the first half hour.
As you can see from the word cloud below, we got an enthusiastic response from those who came, who said they enjoyed “The variety of stalls - all gorgeous”, “The creativity and happy atmosphere”, “Everything! Friendliness of stallholders”. Some people did find it too crowded at the start and for 2019 we’ve moved to a Saturday with an earlier start and we’ll have the use of the whole of the refurbished Public Hall so it can be even bigger and better.
£400 was raised for the mental health charity MIND, mainly from the raffle and yarn swap.
