REGS veg proved a big draw at the Leys Community Markets first weekly event on Saturday in Greater Leys, Oxford.

For years Reg Curnock sold the vegetables he grew on his Kestrel Crescent allotment at the monthly market, but said the shift to a weekly event helped him sell more produce. The Brambling Way resident, 78, said: I normally get about 20, but on Saturday I got about 50.

It was really good, there were a lot more people than there normally are. We had 30 stalls and gazebos and the Strawberry Fayre Majorettes.

The Leys Community Market, which began in December 2012, used to run on the last Saturday of each month but now runs every Saturday from 10am to 1pm at The Barn in Nightingale Avenue.
