    Can anyone tell me if the sunday market at the Fruit Market is still going? Used to go there loads as a kid but that was many many years ago!

    Hi Kit,

    The market is still going. I haven't been myself since I was a child. I moved back to Brislington just over a year ago and regularly see people on a Sunday morning heading in and out (carrying lots of bags!), so worth a visit I would have thought.

    This thread is a year or so old - but does anyone know if the Sunday Market is still going on at the wholesale fruit place?

    Is it much good?

    Cheers,

    Hi Steve,

    Yes the 'Fruit' Market is still going, went there last week - though not as many stalls as when I have been before. It has 3 meat wagons, 2 Fruit & Veg stalls, clothing stalls, music stalls etc.;)

    When I was a kid, everyone used to get their leather jackets down the fruit market lol, I live in Brislington and havent been there since I was a teenager. That type of market went out of fashion but if it was more a food market I think it would tempt people back. Must pay a visit soon to see whats there.

    If you google Bristol fruit market, you should find a map and address: it's

    Wholesale Fruit Centre
    Albert Cres, Bristol, BS2 0YQ
    0117 977 3674

    Looking at the map I am pretty certain that is where we used to go to buy our wholesale fruit for work. I know nothing about the Sunday market there.
