Markets are a great place to shop whatever the time of year. They combine a traditional atmosphere with the opportunity to grab a bargain at the same time. 

The Wakefield district boasts eight fantastic markets. Each of them has its own unique character but they all offer shoppers a warm welcome, friendly traders and competitive prices. 

Food is one of the big attractions at many of our markets. Fresh local vegetables pull in the customers as do several delicatessens offering cheeses, olives and other treats. There are butchers and fishmongers, bakers and confectionary.
