Independent retailers attended a three-hour evening course on how window dressing can increase trade.

More than 20 Horsham shopkeepers took part in the free workshop.

The event at Central Sussex College was part of a series of workshops funded by the European Social Fund and run by Sussex Enterprise.

Melanie Cartmell, manager of The Cloth Store, in The Carfax, said: "I have been inspired and now feel empowered to change displays with confidence."
