Burgess Hill market closes due to drop in visitors

The fruit and vegetable stall will relocate to The Orchards in Haywards Heath this week, Burgess Hill Town Council has said.

A representative from the Martlets Shopping Centre said: “The market ceased trading on Saturday, January 27.

“Over recent months, visitor numbers to the market have dwindled, and despite efforts to increase these, there has been a steady reduction and the operators feel that the market is no longer viable.

“We’d like to thank Mark and his team for their dedication in providing Burgess Hill with a regular weekly market and wish them the best of luck in their future ventures.”
