Most likely got arrested:rolleyes:

Had a look around the market, some good food available but a tad expensive. I will be buying some of the foreign beers that are there today.:clap:

Naa, i think this market caused a nuisence! As you walked down fagate it was full of marketstalls therefore reducing the size of the walkway. I was hell tryin to get to the bottom of fargate and back up again. Why can't they find a better location or just stick to sundays rather than blocking the whole shopping area.

I think the market added to the town centre shopping experience - it was nice (crowded yes) to see people out and about in the town centre rather than crammed in at Meadowhell. The food smelt and tasted great....much better than the alternatives generally offered from the likes of McD, BK and KFC - yuk yuk yuk

More markets please whoever organised the event.

i was really gutted when my boyfriend got to work at 5pm and told me the market had been on, i really loved it last year! so is it definatly on tommorrow? beacause if so, yay!

Very good, interesting, worth a visit, trouble is it is too pricey, one needs to take a mortgage out to buy from there!!!

What's to shop for on Fargate ? - a couple of card shops and a dozen or so mobile phone shops. Really nice to see something different.

And market stalls in a market ? How inconsiderate :confused:

It was the last day of the market today (Sunday) the next one on is the Christmas art and craft maket. It is expensive but when it's only on a couple of times a year then it's nice to splash out when it's here.

The market will definately be on next year, there was an article in the Telegraph with the stall holder praising Sheffield for the custom it has given to the market.

as i have not been in the town centre for a long time are the religious nuts still there saying the end of the world is comming and other rubbish ?:loopy: :loopy:

There was some ace stuff, but totally overpriced...
For those prices I'd expect them selling from a shop, not a tent.
Pity, there was stuff I'd have bought, but nooooo

My parents came over yesterday so it was somewhere nice to take them, only my dad got a bit giddy at the fudge stall and spent about £15 quid on different flavoured fudge. They were also overjoyed at the prices of the stall selling plans an bulbs and we were soon heading back to my house with a small rainforrest and 19KG 0f fudge.

the above post was meant to say plants and bulbs NOT plans and bulbs, can a mod please edit that, sorry.

Justin's of Whitby is tops for fudge if anyone is over thataway.

Now I truly know that people in Sheffield will complain about anything. I'd suggest you stay inside your home from now on just in case any more nuisance events occur.

The market was great, I would love to see it as a regular event.

It was a nuisence to me, someone who works in the city centre and only has for lunch. The smell that was been produced was disgusting enough to make me and my friends gip. Also shops like M+S must have losted trade as i overheard a woman saying that she couldn't get the in time so she had to taurn back. Now that's a nuisence. I don't complain much it's just the fact that it had to be there on a busy saturday when if it had sticked to sunday it would be a lot better.

I thought it was fantastic (including the delicious smells!) and made a great change from (as someone else has said) wandering around a bunch of lame-ass card shops and 6 (or is it 8 now?) mobile phone shops.

Restrict to sunday when its not busy? thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard! Why not have it at night when theres noone around at all?!? :loopy:

Id like to see something similar every week. Some of the cheeses and cured meat products were really tasty, and although some of it was fairly expensive it was still worthwhile just to breath some life into the town centre.


Bring it on!:clap:

The only thing that's a nuisance is that it's not there more often. Oh, and the sort of folk who'd rather battle through the crowds to buy a Big Mac than try something a little bit different!

If it's "that good" then people will b prepared to make that extra bit of an effort to travel into town and buy produce from there.

Isn't thats why we have purpose built markets where all the stalls are situated....Why they accomodate this on a thursday when it's closed? This is just my opinion.
