It was such a beautiful day today that I decided to pop into the town centre and see what was new since I'd last been down! First I went into the gorgeous Queen's Park which looked wonderful, and it was great to see so many people out enjoying the surroundings! As luck would have it, there was a band playing in the bandstand too, the first of the season! Perfect accompaniment to a lovely day! Don't worry if you missed this performance, as there are more concerts scheduled for the bandstand throughout the summer!
When I finally got into town, it was interesting to see how huge the scaffolding was around the HSBC building, and how the markets have had to adjust to fit in the space left. And how wonderful that I saw the Way of the Wyrd Morris dance troupe and another group of dancers getting ready to perform. I'm guessing they were there to entertain the large crowd who had come along to visit the annual ceramics market! Wow! Such a lot of stalls, and some really interesting pottery to be seen! Here's some pics of the afternoon in the market place - it might not look busy, but it was actually very busy, but I tried very hard to avoid taking pictures of people. You can see pictures from previous years in earlier blogposts: 2021; 2019; and 2018.
