It's a nice place to go to on a Sunday, I've always enjoyed checking out the stalls. Today, however, was a complete disappointment. A woman was selling Nazi memorabilia which I think is tactless and disrespectful. I don't know how she got away with selling that.

The stalls were not very interesting for me mostly children's toys and clothes. The regular fruit stall was well stocked and i bought some delicious victoria plums cheaply. The most interesting stalls were the 'house clearance' stalls on the first row and at the top of the field. Parking is plentiful.
