There will also be an interesting mix of stalls including Marlowe’s Mini Makers sand art at the Civic Centre as well as a more food including burgers being served outside with the Town Crier opening the exciting joined-up event.
A Warminster Business Network spokesperson said: “The third market of the year looks to offer something a little different while maintaining the heart of the success so far. The town comes alive during the events, and we cannot wait for this one.”
The market aims to promote local businesses and encourage visitors to all areas of the town with many independent shops and cafes open for visitors.
Additional entertainment includes St Lawrence Chapel hosting Chapel tours, and The Athenæum Warminster and The Warminster Action Group providing children’s craft sessions.
