A spokesperson for South Coast Makers Market said: “We are working around the clock right now to turn the entire first floor of Bobby’s department store into our dream Makers studio and shop.

“We have a hugely talented creative crew of 50 brilliant brands moving their entire studio to Bournemouth Square for Christmas.

“You will be able to see creativity in action, watch the designing + making that goes into handmade work whilst grabbing a snack, lunch, coffee, local brewed beer, gin or cider and chat to Makers in a chilled environment.”

The new pop-up market at Bobby’s will be open six days a week and will run for five weeks from Friday, November 19 to Friday, December 24.

There will also be a range of craft workshops and free children’s activities taking place during the five weeks at Bobby’s.
