Selling a midi dress in Canterbury
Canterbury has a cathedral that has been a place of pilgrimage for eight hundred years and a medieval centre inside surviving city walls. It has three higher education institutions and the student population is very large relative to the size of the city.
Three institutions clear student housing every June and the student districts are dense, which makes the annual turnover the dominant feature of this market. Tourism turns over guesthouse furnishings separately.
The walled centre is largely pedestrianised with narrow medieval lanes, so agree a spot outside the walls for anything large. The two stations are both a short walk from the centre.

Canterbury, in England, has around 55,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
