The world's only regular Slow Food Market. Held at St Nicholas Market on Corn Street on the first Sunday of every month, the market features stalls of fresh, local food of the very highest quality.
Now the largest food market in Bristol, its undoubted highlights include artisan bread from the Thomas Bakery, the lush Chocolate Workshop, top juices from St Nicholas Market stars The Big Banana, the almost legendary Pieminister Pies, Ginger Gallery's sensational brownies, organic meats, locally grown veg and much more.
This is the place to find out what south west food is really all about.

Another huge reason to go is the seasonality. Charlton Orchards have an amazing list of apple varieties that change as the season progresses and I can't wait until the first ones arrive in August!
Oh, and the cheese selection is astonishing.
All in all, we really look forward to the family trip to the market and come away with heavily laden bags, but lighter pockets.
