Love Southsea market was back in full swing yesterday in Palmerston Road. Customers were buzzing around the stalls, browsing for products and trying out the delicacies on sale.
The market has been an important part of the high street social fabric since 2008. It has been a place for entrepreneurs to develop their businesses and serve Southsea residents on the streets.
There was a variety of stalls on display including homewares, sweet treats, plants, jewellery and other items. Love Southsea operates on the first and third week of every month. It’s open on Saturday between 9am-5pm, and Sunday between 9am-4pm. Here are 11 pictures from this year’s first opening.
