One market trader says he is expecting turnover to be down by 15% after having to close on Saturday.
Traders and stall holders in Devon and Cornwall have said business is down after many were forced to close over the weekend because of Storm Darragh.
Christmas is a key time for businesses, with many hoping to make up for lost turnover in the next few weeks. He said: "It takes about 10 months to plan it; there would have been loads of activities through the town. He said: "We only have five big Saturdays for the duration of the market whilst we're here and one of them was lost, unfortunately. But, hopefully, between now and next week, we can recoup some of those losses."
