Hi Andy & Helen When you say organise a Market at "the start of School holidays" - do you mean in the Summer, Spring, or Autumn?

Hi,
In answer to the question, back in 2010 I used a "Birds of Prey" display Company who came from Southern Britain. Think the chap sold his birds off, and went back to working at a "proper job" as the L/H business did'nt pay enough to keep him solvent
