Tips for visiting
Arrive close to 9am, when most stalls open, since the best of the fresh produce and clothing sells fast and traders start packing up from around 1pm ahead of the 2pm close. Card machines are more common than they used to be, but smaller stallholders, particularly at the fruit, veg and bakery stalls, still often prefer cash.
