Taste the flavours of the world as international traders set up stall in the county town.

Brewery Square is the new venue for Flavours of the World, a market that sells top quality artisan-produced foods and craft products from around the world.

This colourful international market comprises carefully selected stalls crafted to stir the senses and draw in the crowds.

Conrad Murray from Savoir Fayre, organisers of the event, said: "Our traders work hard to create an international atmosphere so people can enjoy exotic flavours and unusual aromas and delight in products they might not otherwise see or buy everyday."

The manifest for Dorchester includes stalls selling Italian sweets and biscuits and delicate nougats; unusual cheeses not easily found in the UK which reflect the cultural and culinary traditions of rural France and a stall which sells cured meats and scrumptious rustic saucisson sourced from every corner of Europe.

There are also specialist stalls offering an unrivalled choice of ground coffee and mustards.

Conrad added: "All of our traders are especially chosen for the knowledge of and passion they have for the products they sell and their delight in offering tastings and explaining the particular characteristics and features of the goods they sell."

And beyond the stalls that tempt the taste buds, the market will have traders who showcase the beauty of international craft traditions.

This will include bowls and ornaments carved from Moroccan marble; Baltic amber set into handcrafted jewellery; finely woven Italian clothing; and rugs and throws from Morocco and Turkey.

One stall will be selling an astonishing 60 varieties of beauty bars and natural soaps derived from olive and argan oil.

Conrad said: "We delight in bringing stalls which offer unusual goods, a wide choice of products and good value to our customers. We also have a record of bringing a lot of extra footfall to the places we visit which pleases local traders.

"That means everyone is happy and we typically establish a strong relationship with our hosts and in many cases our visit becomes a much-looked-forward-to regular event."

The market will be coming to Brewery Square on from Thursday, September 14 until Saturday, September 16 and will be open from 9am until 5pm.
