Always a great place to visit & spend some time walking around the huge range of goods onsale, the biggest market on the N/W coast & every Sunday too. Other outdoor markets like Wynyard are great & only every second Sunday, but we'll worth seeing as there's a different variety of goods on offer compared to penguin market.
