Eight traders from Normandy will set up on the Albert Pier for five days, from Wednesday 18 to Sunday 22 November.

The market will be open from 9am to 6pm each day, except on the opening Wednesday, when it is expected to start at 11am.

Stalls will sell French cheeses, charcuterie and traditional cider, along with clothing, games and other specialist products. Visitors will be able to pick up a crepe or a sausage sandwich, or browse cashmere jumpers, wooden games and biscuits.

The event is organised by Maison de la Normandie et de la Manche, in partnership with the States of Guernsey, and it aims to celebrate the close ties between the island and its neighbouring region.

The market is entirely self-funded by the traders, who pay pitch fees to cover the cost of organising it.

As commercial importers, they must comply with strict regulations on bringing meat and dairy products into Guernsey.
