Silly hats mean serious money, thanks to Bury Market traders

Traders on Bury Market indulged their sense of fun on Saturday when they turned up for business wearing their silliest hats.

The aim was to bring a smile to their customers and raise funds for Bury Hospice via donations into collection boxes situated around the award-winning market.

The traders have been taking part in Bury Hospice’s Corporate Challenge in which teams were given five months to turn £50 into as much money as possible. The project ends on 31 October, but already more than £600 has been raised by the market traders’ efforts.
