a year agoThe Nelson Saturday Market is a bustling hub of creativity, offering a wide array of artworks and locally produced goods. From handcrafted jewelry to fresh produce, the market caters to diverse tastes and interests. However, finding parking can be a challenge, as the popularity of the market leads to limited spaces and crowded streets. Despite the hustle and bustle, navigating through the throngs of people adds to the lively atmosphere. Overall, while the market may test your patience with parking and crowds, the abundance of choices and vibrant energy make it a worthwhile destination for a weekend outing.

6 years agoI had an absolute blast at the market this Saturday just passed. I bought a lot and would have bought more if I wasn’t flying home. Amazing apple selection at really cheap prices. Great artisan cheeses. Yummy breakfast options at reasonable prices. I even went home with some handcrafted items

a year agoGreat options for food produce and handmade gifts/foods. Really good vibes. My husband got the hangi for $20 and I got the whitebait fritter for $16. Then we got some pastries for $6.50 each. A few other stalls had pastries for a bit more money. Not enough seating for eating.

2 years agoThe Sarurday Nelson Market is a must go to if you are in the area. A great place to meet local entrepreneurs with their amazing hand made drawings, carvings cups, swords, spices and all sorts of things. This is a great place to have a coffee, authentic street food, buy gifts, duck eggs, greeneries and so many so many things. Do not miss on the Nelson market thinking that its like all other weekend markets around NZ; it is absolutely not.

4 months agoGreat day at the market, lots of people about and plenty of sunshine. This market is not a cheap market, priced more for tourists. Moko got herself a necklace and key ring for $20 - so okay prices for kids things.
