Stalls included one for Lytham-based Olive Tree Brasserie who are preparing to open in the Miller Arcade.

Their stall was one of many who saw a famous face visiting from the foodie world as Jean-Christophe Novelli dropped by to lend his support to the market.

Strong winds didn’t hamper the turnout to the market, organised by Preston’s Business Improvement District, which avoided any major downpours.

Birds of prey were also on display as the crowds thronged Friargate to explore the stalls.
