St Nick’s Market has been named one of Britain’s best at the Great British Market Awards.

The awards ceremony in Birmingham saw markets battle it out to be crowned victorious by the National Association of British Market Authorities.

St Nick’s, the winner of the Best Large Indoor Market category, was praised for its partnership work with schools and the council including its annual Young Enterprise market, as well as its excellent expanding food outlets and support for the Bristol Pound.
