Business

There is still a small textile industry (the green baize cloth used to cover snooker tables is made here), but today, the town functions primarily as a centre for light engineering and small-scale manufacturing, and a provider of services for the surrounding villages. A bi-monthly farmers' market, launched in 1999, was nominated for Farmers' Market of the Year in 2001.
