Newcastle-under-Lyme Markets

Sadly a shadow of its former self. Traders packing up really early. Such a shame. This used to be packed with stalls of every kind and hundreds of customers -really popular and bustling with people. Not helped by lack of free or cheap parking, yellow lines everywhere and supermarkets selling everything. People need to support these market traders or they will be gone forever

There was no market stalls on only a couple ,they seem to have stopped coming

For what l wanted it was excellent. There is a general market on fixed days, but you need to look on the council website for other markets which are more specialised and quite varied

A few less stalls then what it used to be but when there’s a special markets on at weekend it’s always booming and lots of fun for all the family.

Started doing the Castle Artisan Market in Jan and have become a regular. People are really friendly. Can't wait till the warmer months!

Very poor no market ,it was one of the best once !! Wake up Newcastle under Lyme council, there is no good shops anymore, just coffee shops and Charity shops!!!!!People would come in to the area if there was a good Market and some descent Shops !!

The market and town center looks lovely, but the market staff themselves for the most part seem extremely rude almost verging on bullies, multiple times I have seen them abusing drivers that are still entitled to drive through the pedestrianized area before 10am, they are aggressive and only show care for themselves and other market stalls

Not as large or busy as it once was but still plenty of bargains about.

Every day there is a different style of market. Whether it is the busy Saturday market, arts and crafts, or the continental food market I visited today. The retail environment is difficult for many towns, and Newcastle-under-Lyme is no different. However, there seems to be momentum to make the most of the facilities. Its a historical market in the centre of town. Local favourites are the jacket potato man, the flower man and the veg stall. Set in the centre of town, its always worth a walk through on the way to Bygones tea rooms or Poundland. Saturdays there used to be a guy flogging meat from a van from Wolverhampton with a loud speaker. Thankfully, he doesn't seem to be around any more and you can enjoy your browsing in peace.

It was a great historic/period place but need to be maintained more and upgraded. Some shops were emptied and closed.
