This weekend marks the return of up to 60 traders at the all-new Brownhills market. Walsall council have promised that the market will be “a lot less dodgy” with “less illegal stuff happening”.
In an effort to hide the fake Kappa / Nike / Adidas clothing, knock-off DVDs and used shoes (complete with socks) they’ll be adding “Street theatre” and “Free Face Painting” to entertain the crowds.
Local MP John Waggletinker stated that, “The face painting will be completely free. We’ve got it down to a fine art now and we can paint one child every minute. The process involves a spray-can and a piece of cardboard with holes in it. You’ll have to wait until Saturday to see it in action but it’ll be great fun for the kids. We do ask parents to bring their own turps though.”
Head down to Brownhills on Saturday where the fun starts at 9AM. Food from snack vans should be eaten at your own risk.
