The markets take place in Warwick Street near Coffee Architects and are held to help promote people to shop and support independent retailers.

Eleni Bradshaw, owner of Thrills of the Emporium, and Debra Whitaker, owner of Hush, both in Warwick Street, came up with the idea of bringing back a market to the Covent Garden area and have been working with Warwick District Council.

The first two markets, which took place on July 28 and August 4, were heralded a success and now business owners are preparing for their third market.

New Leamington markets a hit with the town

This market will be the last Covent Garden Quarter market until next years due to the incoming Christmas market.

Eleni and Debra said: “We are holding another market on September 15 but we are going to have to stop between October and Christmas because of the market on the Parade. We should be able to do other events in that time.

"We are really gutted we have to stop as Leamington really seemed to get behind it and it’s a real shame but it’s out of our hands.

“Going forward we will restart the markets in January with the aim of having an eco and handmade one on the fourth Sunday of every month. Inbetween we are looking at events such as a vintage flea market or classic car event.

“We are really grateful to everybody in Leamington for the support.”
