00:00 Could you tell me what the market is here today that's going on in Sheffield City Centre?
00:04 It's twice a year they bring in the international continental market, bring flavours of the world.
00:11 It's been quite good, builds up during the week so Saturday's going to be the busiest day of course.
00:18 But we get good response off the students, off locals.
00:22 It's the second year we've been working up here and we'll definitely come back.
00:27 Spanish donuts and churros, fresh breakfast Spanish.
00:41 Chocolate, sugar, strawberry, marshmallow, chocolate nuts.
00:49 Has it been popular so far this week?
00:52 Yes, a lot this weekend and different food every week in Sheffield three times.
01:00 Could you tell me what you are selling here at the continental market in Sheffield?
01:11 As you can see I'm selling arts and crafts which we make ourselves from recycled materials.
01:18 This work has been made from discarded materials which we use every day.
01:27 For example Coca-Cola cans, with Coca-Cola cans we make giraffes like this which is cut into pieces and we use wire to make it by hand.
01:41 This is a gift idea product that also helps people to understand about our environment.
01:52 So it's environmental friendly.
01:54 How's the market been going so far this week?
01:57 We started yesterday and yesterday has been slow and I can tell you for sure that the people seem like they are financially unstable at the moment compared to previous years.
02:16 Are you hoping it's busier on Saturday?
02:18 It could be busier in terms of the number of people but what makes the market busy is the spending.
02:27 The people are spending money into this work.
02:31 The work is beautiful and everything so we are hoping that people will spend a bit of money because this year has been a rough year for people financially the way I see it.
02:43 So we are looking forward of course to a good selling market.
