The Market and its’ 370 stalls sell everything from special treats to every day essentials.  Stalls are mainly undercover, on one level and accessible to all, with disabled facilities located on both the Open Market and in the Market Hall.

It offers 19 free coach parking spots, and excellent facilities for group comforts; a free £5 coach drivers’ lunch voucher which can be used at eight cafes on the market, and tourist and pedestrian signage to coach parking areas.

In addition a drop-off/pick-up point for coach passengers is situated on the edge of the Market.  The facility, located opposite the Markets Management Office, is free to use by all coach companies.
