More and more beloved spots are reopening now that lockdown regulations have eased under Level 3. Shoppers can rejoice as the latest institution to open its doors back up to the public is the popular Elgin Railway Market.

“It’s been so lonely without you… but the long wait is finally OVER: we’re delighted to announce that we’re re-opening this weekend!” organisers for the Market announced on Facebook. “We’ll be open Saturday and Sunday 9am – 5pm with a slightly reduced number of vendors, live entertainment but unfortunately no beer, cider, gin or wine due to current legislation.”
“Don your most fashionable mask, come support local business and help re-light our fire – the Beast has been yearning for your hot (socially distanced) company.”
