Littlehampton town centre came alive last Saturday with the sights and sounds of a vibrant Portuguese market.

The visiting market, which came to the town on November 26, offered a great range of Portuguese, Madeiran and Cape Verde crafts and specialities including meats, cheese, wines, pastries and the very popular Portuguese custard tarts, called Natas.

Littlehampton’s Portuguese speaking residents joined in with singing and dancing from traditional Portuguese musicians and dance troupe Grupo Flor da Madeira.
