Nelson Market
The Nelson Market
A weekly Saturday market in Montgomery Square, selling local crafts, organic produce and street food.
Nelson is one of the New Zealand cities with the highest concentration of craftspeople, and the Saturday market, running since the 1980s, is the best way to experience local life. Around a hundred stalls sell local pottery, woodwork, jewellery, clothing, organic fruit and vegetables, honey and snacks from around the world, and street performers add to the fun. The market is held in Montgomery Square in the city centre, usually 8am to 1pm on Saturdays. A smaller farmers' market runs on Sundays.
