What an indoor market. We have never visited one quite like this. It really is marvellous. Loads and loads of stalls or selling various produce and products. You can even buy a three piece suite. The top floor is given over to food outlets mainly and there is a terrace outside where you can sit in the fresh air and sunshine with a pint. Lots of different types of food available. The stall holders are very friendly. If you visit Barnsley I would recommend you go inside and have a look around for yourself you may be pleasantly surprised
