Finzels Reach street food market will now take place twice a week

A popular street food market in Bristol has announced it will now take place twice a week.

Finzels Reach Market has taken place on Friday afternoons since launching in May 2017, but from next week it will also run on Wednesdays.

The market reopened at the start of June with a number of measures in place to make it COVID-secure, as well as offering fewer stalls in a new layout.

But with the popularity of street food showing no signs of slowing down, market director Sophie Bowden said the turnout has been strong since the relaunch.

"We’ve been thrilled with the support we’ve received from the local community since we reopened," she said.

"We’ve been able to operate the market on a smaller scale and regulate attendance accordingly."

The market, which takes place in Old Temple Street, features a line-up of popular street food traders which changes on a weekly basis.

Sophie hopes opening the market twice weekly will mean foodies are less likely to miss out on their favourite traders.

"As office workers start to return and knowing how busy the market can get, we want to make sure that we can continue to run the market safely," she added.

"Opening the market twice a week means we’re able to manage our customer base over the two days as well as offering the usual amount of traders we had before the pandemic.

"We’re hopeful that in time we’ll be able to operate the market at full capacity but in the meantime, we’re delighted about having an additional market day."

The market will open twice weekly from Wednesday, August 5 between 11am and 2pm.
