Bury Market

Bury Market is in the heart of Bury and is the heart of Bury. It has a fantastic atmosphere with friendly stall holders and a vast array of stalls on the Outdoor Open Market and The Indoor Market (open Wednesday, Friday and Saturday).
This thriving attraction has stalls selling clothes and electronic items, bakeries that have fresh bread and cakes, shops with delicacies and cheeses of every kind.
You can buy the famous Bury Black Pudding, along with books, arts & crafts and delicious food and refreshments in lots of cosy cafes.
There is also a wide range in Fish and Meat hall with some unbeatable deals for fresh food.
It really is Britain's favourite market, having been voted as such and draws visitors from around the world like a magnet.
Come to Bury Market for an unforgettable day out and you'll come back time and time again !!

Heard about this place for years and wanted to go, but my wife works Saturdays and I work through the week, but yesterday (Saturday) she had a day off. Thoroughly enjoyed the place, plenty of easy parking, and a short walk under a tunnel to the market, spent two hours wandering, spent the best part of £40 had a coffee and excellent bacon sandwich and bought my week's fruit at half the price of the supermarket. Already recommended to all my FB friends and will be going again later in the year now we know how enjoyable it is

Fantastic market, best in the UK so much fresh produce and of course the famous Bury Black Pudding from the Bury black pudding company. You could spend the whole day browsing and shopping.
My only disappointment was the sweet stall Gosling's on the indoor market, sweets stale and hard possible been left out during covid lockdown so avoid this stall.

Don't be deceived when you read Multi-Award Winning Market. Much as the statement is factually correct it promises more than it delivers. Most of the outdoor stalls offer the same cheap and nasty tat that you can find at any town market up and down the country.

The indoor food stalls, greengrocers, butchers and fishmongers are no doubt of reasonable quality but having been spoiled by the wonderful food markets in Crete and mainland Greece over recent years even these failed to fully impress

Bury Market is ideally situated with bus and metro links both on the doorstep. It forms part of the Mill Gate shopping centre complex. The market is effectively in three parts. There is the indoor market hall and across the way is the meat and fish market, with the open air market leading off that and stretching all the way round the back of the main market hall. Both indoor and outdoor markets have a number of cafés and eateries. There are some excellent butchers and green grocers and the fresh fish was superb. A whole large fresh salmon for £22 looked like a great bargain. The butchers have just about everything, from giant chops to game and not forgetting the famous Bury Black Pudding. Of course, Yorkshire Black Pudding is infinitely superior but keep it to yourself. The vegetables were magnificent and you couldn't get any fresher. The rest of the market has anything from clothing to furniture. There are plenty of bargains to be had. I would be there every week if I lived closer.

I live in Bury and I’m just back from a lovely time shopping in Bury Market, no fighting for toilet roll, bickering over rice or kicking off about supplies! Instead there was plenty of everything to go round, smiling faces and a load of people all being considerate of each other. I got there at 8am and was done in just over an hour and that’s only because I was wandering round chatting! I got the most amazing fruit and veg from Paul Smedley’s fruit and veg, which is tucked in the far right corner, chicken from one of the butcher’s on the fish market, toilet roll and household stuff from the discount store at the end of the market nearest the bus station. They’ll run out of toilet roll today but will have more on Wednesday. I got gluten free treats from Sally’s bakes on the old flea market and cheese from Purdon’s next to the subway near the old flea market

Maybe think about shopping local, it’ll be cheaper, there were no queues, no fighting and no one cared how much toilet roll we all got and you’ll put money in the pockets of local suppliers! Such a great and varied selection of food, drink, household products, books, clothes, cafés

We really are so very lucky in Bury

Love coming here. Came Friday morning thinking it would be busy but was perfect for us. Fruit and veg stalls brilliant with lots of the more unusual produce at great prices. Both indoor/outdoor parts equally as good. Meat/fish halls great too. good day out.

Another visit to Bury. One of the best towns in Greater Manchester. While there I visited Bury market. Never fails to impress, loads of local delicacies from Manchester tart, Eccles cakes and of course Black Pudding. The stall holders are as friendly as ever and their produce as fresh and good quality as ever.

The short trip from Victoria to Bury Met station of about 20 minutes is so quick. Well done to the people of Bury, you keep me coming back, you really have the greatest market in Greater Manchester.

My friend and I got the tram to Bury for a browse around the market. I wouldn’t describe it as outstanding- it was just like any other market, really. There were a couple of cheap clothes stalls, a sweet stall, a book stall, a homeware stall…etc.

As recommended, I got a Black Pudding bap from one of the vendors: that and a can of Pepsi was £2.50…you can’t go wrong!

Perhaps we didn’t go at the best of times since some of the stall-owners were self-isolating at home, and the open air market wasn’t on. We spent more time in the nearby shopping centres.

Just had a great day out here, it’s huge with numerous stalls selling all range of goods at very economical prices. Lots of shoppers and I do mean lots give the whole place a vibrant atmosphere with it being exactly like markets were twenty years ago. It really is one of those places where you end up buying all the things you never knew you needed until you got there. I note one review used the word “Tat” and this is not the case I think “Good Value” is much better.

It’s also fair to say you will not starve, I cannot recall the last time I saw a place with so many good value eateries.

If you like markets do go you will not be disappointed!!!
