Antiques dealer John Parker said business has been good since opening his pop-up shop.
Mr Parker has got the shop in between the Black Swan Hotel and the former Polly Tea Rooms in the Market Place until the new year.
His usual base is at the rear of Winkworths estate agents also in the Market Place but he said the new location is more visible.
He said: “I have had lots of people in and sold lots of stuff. People have been very complimentary about the shop.
"It’s proving to be a really good experience and I couldn’t be happier. It’s also nice not to have empty shops. It makes such a difference.”
