Brighton Open Market Tourist Attraction in Brighton, Brighton and Hove

Reviews

1. Pete Hobson ★★★☆☆

   I love the open market and despise it in equal amounts. A form of gentrification with out the benefits of investment is semi present, loaves of bread available if you re mortgage your home. Fruit and veg over priced. The bacon and cheese guy is cool, as is the egg man, and the Japanese/Vietnamese place. Wish it had somewhat of a traditional market and a bit less shonky craft stalls. If it opened on Sundays with all traders and shut a couple of days midweek, it would benefit shoppers and traders. Otherwise it feels too much like a lifestyle choice for rich kids.

   It’s not a very big market but if you want to support local and small businesses, this is the place to come! It’s very lively during Christmastime and you can find a range of items from crafts to sauces to cheese to books. There are many fantastic stalls and on the top floor there’s some specialised shops as well. If you’re passing by, it’s definitely worth a short visit. You can also keep up with them on their social media to see which days there’s going to be Makers’ Markets (my personal favourite)

   Quite interesting. Not very big, but I think it's worth a short visit. You can find interesting handicrafts and all kinds of more or less valuable antiques. Small shops of local producers. I drank a very good craft beer here. I don't think you need more than 40 minutes for a visit.

   It's great that you can support the locals there! You can buy fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs, there is also a bakery and many other things such as sewing materials or antique furniture. I was surprised at how delicious the Samosa was at the little kiosk on the left. The best i had in my life, seriously. The whole place is not as big as I thought, but worth visiting when you are in this area.

   Lively place with good produce, excellent vibe and a variety of food options. Great place for meat, veggie lovers alike with ample options for vegan diet as well! The place is more compact than some of the markets in London, understandably so. But the quality of food etc is good!

   We passed by the open market on a Sunday noon and some of the shops were closed, but we liked the authentic feeling of it. There were a few local sellers offering freshly baked bread, colourful clothing and knits, books, and candlesThere are a few coffee shops offering coffee and food.

   Clothing, food and sundries are available in various shops. Clothing is interesting because it is of African origin. There was also a free market. Indoor and rain-free, with good access to nearby parks and cafes.

   A lovely covered market with some wonderful local traders, cafes, grocers and unique stalls. There's always a lovely breeze floating through the market, which makes the browsing experience all the more pleasant. The regular Maker's Market and Vegan Market are definitely worth visiting, and you'll find local products and produce that are truly delightful and very rare. Plenty to enjoy here.

   Market was okay, few local sellers, but variety of stuff wasn't great. I wasn't impressed. But hummus and fallafel place kept us there, we had nice lunch for very reasonable price. Shops staff was amazing and welcoming. Food was delicious. So if you going past the market have a fallafel pita !

   If I’m honest I do prefer the old open market Layout with the road coming round two sides but I guess progress has to take over, in keeping with the old market there is still the same CAFE run by the same people yet many of the new stores are run by new owners and are selling products that were not sold previously when the market was mainly fruit and veg, If I was suggesting places to visit To students bargains seekers and those in to all things Vintage. Some people that start a business here do not last long this may be because of the price of products or the amount of footfall that runs through the open market yet you will find that some of the stores have been there since the reopening I’m getting quite a few are missing the old pigeons as well are used to sit outside the old CAFE
