St Nicholas market is regularly named as one of the country's top places to shop away from the big chains which tend to dominate high streets. The Guardian named it in their top 10 British markets back in 2010, and it was recently namechecked as one of Europe's best places to get street food by Travelmag.
The market has over 60 different shops and stalls, and and according to traders who make their living there, it is fully deserving of its reputation. Nelia Stagg works in Kalahari Moon, a small shop among the market's narrow lanes which sells South African goods.
She told Bristol Live that St Nicholas market "feels like a quirky place with a soul". "All customers that come in are very friendly and open and have a laugh," she said.
