Nelson Markets

Nelson is a market town, and Saturday morning’s Nelson Market, in Montgomery Square, is one of the oldest in the country. It showcases the region’s wealth of artists, craftspeople, and artisan food producers. Vintage items, recyclables, and collectibles feature at Monty's Sunday Market, also in Montgomery Square. On Wednesday it’s the local foodies’ turn, selling their produce at the Nelson Farmers' Market in Morrison Square ( www.nelsonfarmersmarket.org.nz).
