A brilliant pop up market featuring a raft of unique, handmade gifts is set to open in Hitchin very soon.

Shop Small Pop Up is gearing up to open later this week - just in time to pick up a perfect Christmas present for a loved one.

Organsier Jemma Larkin regularly runs small business markets at Hitchin Town Hall - but as retail is getting increasingly harder and these small independents find it harder to be seen online, she made the decision to grow the markets into a Pop Up Shop for Christmas.

Speaking to Hitchin Nub News Jemma said: "We are due to open on Thursday, November 9 for six weeks only.

"It will be home to more than 30 local creative businesses," Jemma explained, adding that people "can take a look at @shopsmallhitchin on Instagram or visit www.shopsmallpopup.co.uk to see some of the businesses taking part."

The pop-up market will run from Thursday until Sunday, December 17.
