If you have been to the Boutique Market and loved it – I am sure you wouldn’t mind taking just a few minutes to vote for us in The News’ “The Guide’s” Best Event. We have all worked so hard together to make this a great day out for people in Portsmouth.

So please cast a vote for us here: http://www2.portsmouth.co.uk/snap/Guide11v1/guide11v1.htm

All you have to do is enter “The Boutique Market” in Best Event where it says “10. Add your own event…” Then you can vote for other things in our area that you are interested in or you can just scroll through to the lsat page where you enter your details.

If you really believe that we truly are the best event in this area – perhaps you could share the link with your friends and family. It would mean the world to us as it has been a long hard slog to make The Boutique Market what it is. I hope you agree.

We had some wonderful entrants for the vintage outfit competition. The results will be published soon once our official photographer has organised the pictures for us!
