On 10 May 2026, Valentia organises a market featuring local crafts, art and produce at The Orange Tree Galerie in Seillans. The event brings together artisans, artists, producers and visitors for a first edition rooted in the village. Despite difficult weather, with sea spray and driving rain, nearly 150 visitors attend. This turnout gives the event genuine local reach and confirms public interest in simple, personable and authentic formats. For Valentia, this market is a major milestone. It proves that the platform can mobilise a real audience, organise in-person encounters and create direct visibility for local stakeholders. Many thanks to Tessa and Nigel Cox for making this event possible.
