These vibrant and colourful markets collectively attract about 500,000 visitors every week making them the largest street market in the United Kingdom.

Starting out as a craft market in outdoor areas and existing buildings along the canal, the market attracted large numbers of visitors to it's Sunday opening. While still attracting huge crowds on Sundays, the markets are now open every day.
