Stallholders at Trowbridge's monthly Weavers Market were thankful the predicted thunderstorms for Saturday didn’t materialise.

And nobody was more pleased than silver jeweller Julie Harris, who was exhibiting in Fore Street instead of a stall inside at Emmanuel’s Yard.

Julie, who trades under her nickname marmalade Emma from her school years had taken the decision to take a stall in the town.

She said: ”I usually promote my silver ware from inside the building at Emmanuel’s Yard but my fellow traders were pulling my leg that if the thunderstorms arrive it was down to me moving to an outside stall.”

Julie has been making silver jeweller since attending a one-day workshop in Dorset and loves the satisfaction of producing good that people admire.

She said: “Making jewellery gives me a great sense of satisfaction especially when buyers complement me on my  work.”

Wiltshire College marketing officer Hannah White had a stall at the market for the first time.

She was giving advice on apprenticeships, T-level courses and Level 2 certificates.

Hannah said: "We have colleges in Trowbridge Chippenham and Salisbury, so it makes since to promote our courses here in Trowbridge.”

Stallholder Catherine Delaney produces unique bags having learnt her sewing skills from her Irish grandmother.

She said: "I learnt how to sew at an early stage in my life thanks to my grandmother and its now standing me in good stead making items of use rather than end up in landfill."
