Rachel, from Ray’s Bakehouse, said: “The event went really well – we had lots of visitors and lots of really lovely feedback.
“Many said they really enjoyed the range of stalls and how talented and friendly the stallholders were.
“It was a lovely atmosphere at the Severns and with their new menus, visitors got to enjoy a scrummy breakfast or lunch during their visit.”
She added a few people asked what Amyloidosis was, as they had never heard of it, so it was good to raise awareness.
Amyloidosis, which is a group of rare conditions where a protein called amyloid builds up in the body. It can affect organs such as your heart, kidneys, liver, nerves or digestive system. It cannot be cured, but there are treatments that may help with symptoms.
