Fans of cult American TV show Storage Hunters are set to meet one of its biggest stars in person when Jesse McClure visits Accrington to launch the Market Hall’s brand new e-commerce website.

From 10am on Saturday 27 September, Jesse will be in town to unveil the site, which features a range of fresh produce and everyday essentials available to buy online and collect or have delivered to your home.

The pilot scheme is the brainchild of Scott Dawson Advertising, the Burnley marketing agency who designed and built the website working in partnership with Hyndburn Council using government funding.

Jesse will challenge Accrington shoppers to a Storage Hunters-style auction inside the award-winning Victorian Market Hall on the day to kick off proceedings.

Budding bidders will go head-to-head against Jesse to predict the value items available to buy inside the Market Hall and online.

Proceeds from the auction will go towards the Mayor’s charity fund.

The website features products from 23 of Accrington’s 70+ stalls, with more stalls to be added regularly now the site is up and running.

Clare Cleary, Hyndburn Borough Council’s Cabinet Member for Markets said: “The way we shop is changing so we need to market our wonderful, traditional Market Hall in a modern way that really showcases all the incredible products on offer on our doorstep.
