Kilmarnock has one of those old rare things that are hard to find in most smaller towns nowadays: a…read more7 day Indoor Market! To the best of my knowledge there are no other 7 day markets in Ayrshire. They have many varied stalls including a t-shirt printing stall, mobile phones, gothic stall, wedding stall, tattooist, cobbler, fruit and veg, pets and many more! The owners of the stalls all seem to genuinely get along and this makes for a friendly and relaxed atmosphere! Something which is sadly lacking in the busy stress-filled supermarkets these days! It might be a bit rough around the edges when it comes to the decor but what it lacks in this it more than makes up for in character! I strongly advise you to visit if you haven't been in a while as you may be pleasantly surprised by what they have to offer!

The small fruit and veg stall is perfect for fresh produce at a lower price than the main town shops. At the very end there are white net curtains for sale something which is quite difficult to find these days as they've gone out of fashion. Near the entrance you can buy picture frames and handbags. Beyond these outlets there's a large stall selling pet supplies, especially cages of all sizes; a stall selling greetings cards and several others. Definitely worth a look!
