The Nelson Market

The Nelson Market at over 30 years old is one of NZ's most popular and loved markets. With up to 200 stalls there is something for everyone. The Nelson Market is the perfect place for visitors and tourists to experience the creativity and essence of the region and the local people.

This bustling Nelson icon transforms the Montgomery Square into a vibrant showcase of arts, crafts and produce, where you may find up to 200 stalls offering a colourful array of “everything under the sun”.

The emphasis is on regional goods and produce, with a focus on quality. This Is evident in the abundant variety of locally grown fresh and organic produce, breads, honey, cheeses, mustards, relishes, seafoods, meats, jams, cakes, pastries, and many other delicacies.

Gastronomic delights are matched by unique arts and crafts, woodwork, metalwork, toys, jewellery, local fashion, woollen, possum and merino wear, flowers, plants, pottery, glassware, possum fur slippers, massage therapies and more.

The aroma of fresh espresso coffee and the variety of food outlets offering the tasty flavours of Nelson and other ethnic cultures makes this a great place for brunch or lunch and a regular social event where locals and visitors catch up with family and friends.
