Quite a big market, but outdated, a lot of the stalls have little of interest. Second hand day on Thursday is worth a look. There is however a great Jamaican food guy in there,much better goat curry than turtle Bay.

Great market. Not been since late 80's and surprisingly in my mind it remains unchanged. Still a brilliant market. Something for everyone.

Today I found this little gem for a latte and fresh croissant at a good price
It's tucked away down towards the meat stall
Italian lady making fresh breads and rolls and pizza too,the premises are exceptionally clean and when the bread comes from the oven the aroma is delightful:
There are a couple of tables and chairs to sit inside if you prefer or you can take away.
I bought a tiger loaf and it was so fresh and delicious ,I will definitely be returning for another coffee and try a soda bread loaf next time:
The lady makes fresh pizza panini's and either lasagna or tortellini to eat in or take away all very tasty

Okay, much better than say Colchester's so called market, with it's half dozen or so stalls. But not worth making any great effort to go there. On the plus side it's mainly indoors.

Like wandering around the market. Being a Chelmsford "girl" I remember there's always been a market in Chelmsford. Theres a very nice Charity stall with a great choice of items including Christmas gifts and paraphernalia. There's also a really great fabric stall which is mainly upholstery and curtain fabrics with a wide choice of patterns and colours. Plenty of bargains to be had and a great variety of food, fruit& veg stalls. Worth a visit if you've not been yet.
Went to the haberdashery stall today to buy zips and seeing thread. This is such a great stall as it has everything you could want for sewing and such a great choice. The fabric stall opposite sells some fantastic materials for upholstery, curtains, linings, dress materials and many other things too. It is about the only place in town where you can find all your sewing requisites.
8/11/22 in market again this morning. Nice bright day and stopped for a coffee after a wander in the market. So bright and cheery with all the Christmas decorations on display to buy. And the meat counter at the Park end of the Indoor Market had a huge selection of lovely meats on display. I didn't buy anything but was tempted by the home cooked ham on display and also some lamb shanks. Think I shall pay a visit to this stall when I next need to stock up my freezer. The fruit and veg stall had some lovely items on display too.
Give it a whirl, you won't regret it 😉

At the market again today to buy some sewing requisites from the haberdashery stall. So many brightly coloured threads, ribbons, embroidery threads and much more. I bought some royal blue cotton and 3 needle threaders, which are very important tools for me when trying to thread cotton through the eye of a needle. My eyesight not as good as it once was ! Had look on the stalls selling Coronation paraphernalia and was amused by the face masks of Charles and Camilla. Loads of bunting and Union Jack hats on sale. Always enjoy browsing at Chelmsford Market.
