A TOUCH of France will arrive in Ramsbottom this weekend.

The town, more famous for its historical Dickensian connections, is to play host to a three-day Indoor French Market.

From Friday until Sunday, Ramsbottom Civic Hall will be packed with everything from honey and jam to olives, cheese, bread and sausages, all with a Continental flavour.

The market will run from noon to 5pm on Friday and between 9.30am and 5pm on Saturday and Sunday.
