Northampton has a lovely big market square, but it is not used properly,A lot of stalls have gone in recent years (since the renovation), but the occasional continental markets can be good. This is one of the oldest market squares in the country and it is not used to it's full potential. These days a lot of the stalls are quite samey - fruit and veg, mobile phones, cheap clothes and the Bric a Brac day which used to be very good is now just embarrasingly jumble sale. There is a good butcher and fishmonger who comes ocassionally though, however the days are a bit hit and miss! read more

northampton market was 1 of best in uk,now its gone downhill,SOME IDIOT IN COUNCIL DECIDED TO CHANGE THE MARKETWHAT AN IDIOT-THIS PERSON GETS A WAGE,THINK HE SHOULD GIVE BACK HIS WAGES RE FRAUD,the market is now half the size,less stalls,bring back british goods foreign rubbish falls to bits after couple weeks,those that sell overpriced mobile phone stuff overcharge as if you check cash-carry sites you will see the public is being ripped off,i know as i use cash-carry companies. so what happened to the entertainment then eh??turn back the clocks BRING BACK OLD MARKET,no wonder theres hardly any stalls,the council rents are too high,i think stall holders are entitled to refunds backdated 5 years ,now wouldnt that upset the council-councillors.we the public dont want rain coming down our necks when we are on market when its raining-time to put permanent covers on market stalls that protect what stall holder is selling-and for us the public not to be cold-wet ok most of market people are nice,just doing a job. thx, bodicea 17th sept 09 9.08am read more
