Our CEO recently spoke at a national conference about the wider value of markets and events to the local community and economy of Cirencester.

Everything to do with film and TV including characters, actors, cosplay, merch, toys, and collectables. Or maybe a themed weekend, such as a throwback to the 1980’s!
