About
Hurtige fakta: Walk inside and you'll find a vaulted iron-and-brick hall humming with a mix of artisan food stalls, vintage records and fresh flowers. More than 100 independent traders set up over weekends, and the place draws a lively crowd of locals and visitors with live music and bargain-hunting energy.
Højdepunkter: Step toward the south aisle on Sunday mornings and you'll hear live jazz, sometimes three acts sharing a tiny stage, while the air fills with the smell of hot smoked salmon and frying pancakes. A cheeky local tradition sees stallholders haggle with playful rhymes or hand-painted price tags, and long-time regulars swear by a marmalade stall offering over 20 varieties of intensely orange-scented preserves.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes and a light waterproof jacket, the main hall is covered but entrances can be chilly.
- Head to the south food aisle early for breakfast stalls and shorter coffee queues.
- Skip souvenir stalls by the main doors if seeking authentic produce; walk deeper into the market for homemade goods and specialty vendors.
- Photograph the ornate ironwork and stained glass at the north end for classic market shots.

4.0Saturday 2pm was buzzing, long food queues. Paid £7 for a full breakfast, tasty but seating was impossible.
Wednesday lunchtime, manageable crowds and free entry. Spent about £15 on cheese and coffee, stalls rotate so go often.
Came 11am Sunday, very crowded and noisy. Entry is free but nearby parking was £10, the vintage stall was worth the squeeze though.
Arrived at 8am with hardly anyone there. Fresh bread and pastries for £4 were excellent and totally worth it.
