FOOD and craft lovers are in for a treat over the bank holiday weekend when the Continental Street Market sets up in Redcar.

Traders from around the world will be on hand to display the best products that their respective countries have to offer – from quirky craft items, to hot food traders from around the world.

The market, which will travel the length and breadth of the UK as part of its tour, always proves popular with residents.

Tony Walsh, the managing director of organisers RR Events, said: “Our team of staff and traders have been involved in markets across Europe for over ten years. With our newly developed brand, the Continental Street Market is sure to create an atmosphere and buzz as it tours the UK.”

From Friday, May 26 to Monday 29, around 20 traders will be present selling the best of the continent’s gastronomic delights and craft items.

The food on offer will range from cakes and pastries for those with a sweet tooth, to barbecued treats for those craving a meat feast as well as authentic Chinese street food.

Mark Ladyman, the director for economic growth at Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council, said: “We are actively promoting Redcar as a destination for quality events, and hope that the Continental Street Market can be a welcome addition to our events calendar.”
