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.

Busiest overnight when there’s 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.

Early mornings aren’t always easy. We get that. Good thing there’s a few cafes dotted around the market to keep you going. We have three cafés and a convenience store with post office in the Fruit and Vegetable Market, and a fourth café in the Flower Market. Red or brown sauce?
