We love shopping at the market! Great fresh products. Fish, meat, vegetables and fruits at a much better rice than supermarkets and better quality. Plus the atmosphere is brilliant. It's a shopping experience! Wish we could go every week.

Great indoor market, lots of stalls from meats and fish, veg, haberdashery, clothes and gadgets.. Pretty much anything you want. There are lots of choices for food especially in the fairly recently cleared hall they now use for events (sad so many stalls were lost to make space).

Worth doing seafood, poultry & vegetable shopping. Bargaining skills is not essential as prices are good enough. If parking, make sure to park in NCP next to it and have your receipts validated after shopping to have a discounted parking.
