Ann Marie Sage and other businesses owners have come together to launch the new street market
Shop owners in a part of Coventry have rallied together to launch a street market, with hopes of boosting the number of people that visit the area. More than 10,000 people are expected to attend the Earlsdon Street Market on Sunday, between 10:00 BST and 16:00.The aim is to attract more people to the area and boost the local economy, organisers say.
About 20 stalls are expected with an array of produce to "bring a farmer's feel back to the high street" Kieran Knight, from Earlsdon's Cobbler's, said., following the success of a similar event at Christmas. Ann Marie Sage, from Sage Coffee Shop, said: "We just felt that there wasn't enough diversity in the street, there were a lot of cafes and restaurants and people are always talking to me about what they would like to see, so we thought, what about a market?"Follow BBC West Midlands on
