"Oh my goodness. We parked in the car park where the market is and had to do Google images to see if we were in the correct place, sadly we were. Three stalls. Yes three stalls. Local council need to get their finger out. Don't bother is my tip."

"Probably one of the worst markets I have every been to. No veg, meat or fish stalls. If you need some clothes pegs maybe you could find them there. Luckily the Spar very close by has a great range fresh local produce."
Paul
"Rather a disappointment.
As most markets struggling to survive they will only win out if they put in the extra effort.
Some stalls were packing up as early as 12.30 and we actually overheard a stall holder say nobody was spending any money so he was going to pack up soon. This man earned even less that day because we simply put back what we had been about to buy from him!
Additionally some stalls were being left unmanned whilst there owners held important conversations ignoring potential customers."
