Ensuring a safe visit
We’re a busy commercial site and it’s important you’re aware of your safety at all times. We don’t allow under 16 or dogs (apart assistance dogs) on the market.

The market is busiest overnight, when there are lots of fork lift trucks and delivery vehicles moving around, so take extra care in the dark.

If you’re on foot, please keep to the pedestrian walkways marked up with a yellow man.
