Fabulous if you like car boot sale junk. Some gems in amongst the lot, plus you can get veg there too, and new tat from China. Saves having to order it online. Well worth a visit.
I love this market. Won't go anywhere else for flowers as the stall here sells them alot cheaper than the supermarkets but they are amazing quality. 2 brilliant make up stalls which I use regularly. You can get just about anything, like a proper old fashioned market which a lot of towns and cities are missing. Plenty of food options too
Grade II* listed by Historic England as "Wholesale Market for Fruit and Vegetables, Byram Street (East Side)" the "Huddersfield Open Market" was first 'opened' in 1889 with its prominent ironwork created by the Whessoe Foundry Company of Darlington.
Listed details: Cast iron. Walls and north lights of each aisle roof glazed all over. 6 aisles, each taken on 4 giant iron columns with elaborate foliate capitals. Decorative patterns pierced in girders. Hipped roofs on segment-shaped iron trusses with decorative patterns pierced in them. Glass canopies on pierced ornamental brackets with similar valences. Continuous round-arched lights above these, in 2 tiers, or 3 as ground slopes away towards the east. Frieze with roundels and heraldic ornament.
Happily the 'Open Market' complex is presently being restored to provide a new indoor market, offering street food, shared seating, fresh bread, fruit and vegetables, and other general goods with around 54 stalls and accompanying storage units.
Great market on SATURDAYS been going here since I was 4 years old now 37,

Get your self down there and grab a bargain!
Saturday review Thursday's are not worth going unless you like asian clothing.
Huddersfield Open Market is ideal for economical shopping. You can find fresh fruits and vegetables at budget friendly prices as compare to other shops and superstores. There is a variety of home decore, clothing, house-hold, etc.
Most of them are good but few items were not up to the mark. Still this open market is a blessing for many. It opens in the morning and mostly they wrap it up by 2:00 to 2:30.
It has a restriction of traffic flow to provide ease to padestrian.
Really friendly stall holders that really want to offer friendly advice. Fruit and veg stall was really great value and quality which was really great. I'll definitely recommend visiting and I'll be back soon.
