A lively outdoor market held every Saturday morning in Montgomery Square in the centre of Nelson, all year round. Around a hundred stalls sell local arts and crafts (Nelson is known for its potters and artists), fresh fruit and vegetables, cheese, bread, and hot food and coffee from all over the world. Buskers add to the atmosphere.


It runs from about 8 am to 1 pm. It's one of the best markets in New Zealand and a great way to start a weekend in Nelson.
