GERMAN Christmas markets have been regular visitors to our shores recently.

But not many British market traders have crossed the North Sea in the opposite direction.

Now Ellesmere Port's German twin town, Reutlingen, is inviting people from this area to take part in its seasonal market.

This will run from November 29 to December 21, but visiting Brits don't have to spend the whole month in Germany.

Town leaders are looking for a group - such as a school, club or organisation - or craftsperson to bring and sell yule-themed British crafts.

There will be accommodation available for the stallholders.
