Swansea Market

Swansea Market is the largest indoor market in Wales, and a great place to find really cheap and fresh local produce.

There have been markets in Swansea for almost a thousand years, the current site on Oxford Street has been there sine 1830, and a new purpose-built Market was opened in 1897.

Swansea Market is a great place to buy fresh fish.

and you can get fish that you may not see in the supermarkets.

Like most markets, Swansea Market is a great place to buy fresh fruit and vegetables:

There are lots of cafés, where you can get a really cheap meal.

These Welsh cakes:

are made with free-range eggs. They are made in front of you - and are delicious when still warm.
