New monthly pop-up market at Algorfa Hotel

There’s a new shopping experience coming to Algorfa. From Saturday 8 July, Algorfa Hotel will hold a monthly pop-up market. From August, the market will move to its regular slot at 12.00 pm on the first Saturday of each month. This will be a year-round event, organised by La Finca Ladies Days.

Around a year ago, local businesswomen and Algorfa residents Charlotte Carr and Sandra Piddock began organising pop-up events at local venues, focusing on a relaxing experience with a small selection of stalls where ladies – and gentlemen – could shop, have something to eat and a drink and enjoy time with friends. Algorfa Hotel was one of the first hosts for these events and is so happy with the results they want to expand into a regular market, offering a wide range of goods and services from local businesses. In fact, they’re looking to fill the main bar/dining area with stalls! Here are just some of the people who will be attending the market regularly, along with links to their Facebook pages if applicable.

Bonita Olivia Ladies

The brainchild of Charlotte Carr, Bonita Olivia offers a good selection of ladies and children’s fashion. Quality fashion at market prices, with something to suit every size, shape and budget. Charlotte also offers at-home spray tanning and hair extensions. Ask about these at the market.

Sandra’s Soul Cave

Sandra’s Soul Cave is owned and run by Sandra Piddock, a clairvoyant, healer and author. Sandra does Angel Card readings and chakra clearings in the comfort of your own home, as well as offering a selection of crystals and other spiritual items at bargain prices. You can also pick up a copy of Sandra’s book, The Soul Cave, and get it signed by the author.

This is a family affair, with all members contributing to the stall. A big selection of personalised gifts and products for the home including plaques, shot glass holders, football fan stuff – the choice is varied, and new items are added to stock all the time.

In addition to these regular stall holders, there will also be guest crafters and service providers, so you can be sure of a varied shopping experience every time you come to the Algorfa Hotel Monthly Pop-Up Market.
