PICTURES: Hundreds of visitors bag a bargain at Wasps' Winter Market at Inverness Creative Academy

There was lots on offer for visitors at a winter market at Inverness Creative Academy.

It was organised last weekend by Wasps Studios, which renovated the former school.

Daniel Pollitt, Wasps spokesman, said: “We were delighted with the turnout at Wasps’ Winter Market this year.

“The weekend saw over 1600 visitors to the event and our exit survey results suggest that of these, nearly 75 per cent made purchases, which is great news for our participating independent creators.

“We are always looking for ways to support our creative community so we will consider how to develop these events in the future.

“It’s heartening to see that Inverness Creative Academy is becoming ever more embedded in the local community as a landmark cultural facility since it fully opened earlier this year.”

• Wasps will be considering applications for its Summer Market at Inverness Creative Academy and potential vendors should email Projects@waspsstudios.org.uk
