THE Hardys retail arcade, in Bordon High Street, hosted its second Christmas market, with stallholders having a merry old time while supporting a good cause.

Caroline Crowder - from Crowder’s Aquatics, which sells tropical fish, food and other related items - arranged the event, which took place on Saturday, December 10.

Ms Crowder, whose shop is at unit 10 in The Hardys arcade, said that, like last year’s market, it was a great success.

The festive market also generated £195 for the Shooting Star Chase children’s hospice, which is based in Addlestone, Surrey.
