A market place with no money changing hands so people can instead share skills, stories and community spirit, is being set up in St Austell with the help of the Eden Project.

The idea is called Share Fair and the first event this year takes place on Saturday, April 15 at White River Place, St Austell, during the Festival of Fun.

Christine Sefton, community project developer at Eden, said the aim of the event is to bring people together, build confidence and grow talents.

There will be a St Austell Share Fair every third Saturday in the month starting on April 15 at White River Place (in the space outside the lifts to the multi-story car park) between 11am and 3.30pm.
