Leigh Market

I regularly visit this market. It has a wide range of things and a nice ambience. It's a pity the greengrocery is so expensive. I was stung once but not again. I prefer to go to Bolton market that is a lot cheaper and a lot more varied.

Greggs at Leigh market are worth a visit. It's a large shop with plenty of tables and chairs. Very pleasant lady served me, I will call in for a coffee and a treat each time I am shopping in Leigh.

Markets like this have seemed to have been going into extension over the years and it gives the feeling of an older time with a variety of stalls and different things on sale and friendly people will to help or just have good conversation

My local market with quite a few decent stalls. It’s just a shame there aren’t as many of them like in years past.

Various types of outlets from Butchers , Watch repairs , Vape stalls , mobile phone accessories & cafes . The market has a good atmosphere with the hustle & bustle of shoppers , this place is really well looked after by it's market management . All areas are kept clean / tidy & safe for everyone . Reasonably priced as many older generations frequent many of the retailers . One of the larger cafes really go out of there way to make all welcome . the market makes a difference in the local community a real sense of belonging , long may this place thrive & continue doing what it does best , serve locals of all ages with a smile 😃 from Leigh .

Top Banana greengrocers is pretty bad with stale & damaged foods. Gotta wade through.. looks like old stock to me. Other stalls excellent. The fish, Listers, Hot Chix, etc are superb!!

There aren’t many greengrocers in the whole of England more expensive than this one. You wouldn’t believe the prices they charge. Maybe it’s because it’s the only one in the market, but that’s no excuse to take advantage of the fact.

What I really like about Leigh Market is everything is in one place ie all the various market stalls and it's easy accessible It's not far from the main bus station in Leigh and you can also access it via the mall in Leigh as well Leigh Market Hall has wide range of stalls everything from food,sweets,fresh produce etc There is even a cafe and barbers inside as well

Someone said if a bomb dropped on leigh, it would cause damage to the value of £2.50! I see why. It's out of date and bleak. The Market is tatty and smelly. Someone will love it but it's full of people with nothing much happening in their world. Shame because we don't have markets anymore.

We have our own little stall here in the Market and many more empty ones are now being filled the Market is certainly up and coming again. I enjoy working here because I'm surrounded by honest hardworking people who enjoy delivering a traditional customer service which in turn sets the atmosphere for a good day.

Absolutely NOTHING here unless you want a phone case. Save your time, and money (car park) and just go somewhere else. Honestly. What a joke of a "Shopping" centre 🙄 and the high street ain't any better, mostly run down or closed shops.

Leigh Market used to be the hub of the town centre shopping experience. Sorry to say the atmosphere and magic of the environment is lost with many units empty. You can still get some great products at great prices. The freshness of food available on different stalls is great but the council need to do something more for the market and Leigh in general

Went to buy our Christmas cards with having 7 kinds and 10 grandkids plus lots of other family it works OK. We had a walk round, and it seems better and busier than the last time we went in, which, to be fair, was probably just before last Christmas. We were there on the 11th at 11 am when there was 2 minutes silence, and everyone stood quietly still , respect to all.

In my opinion there is the best value for beef and sausages in the market hall. I have not been to other markets which have the same varied products. Good value and Leigh has the edge on other markets and RL.

Retro game shop is amazing. They do all your current stuff to and have very competitive prices. I've no real issues with the place but if I was to say one thing, the layout is a bit chaotic. Not really their fault as they are really limited with the space they have however, I feel this could probably be laid out who struggle with accessibility.

Went to the cafe for lunch. Plenty of seats when we went, but it does get busy around lunch time. Food is excellent and the prices are god too. The market itself is OK, good prices on most stalls, but we don't tend to shop when we are here, we just come for the cafe.

It's extremely welcoming atmosphere in the Leigh market, with good quality food for amazingly low prices. Definitely worth the visit and easy parking or going by bus. Bus Station is just few yards walking to Leigh market. On my visit I went via bus and notice around bus station was reasonably clean and tidy, could do with some weed killer on public paths and crubs but then again with most town's and city's, all Borough Council's have to watch thire penny's and is not always financially possible to get someone to deal with all the weeds that grow around the paths and curb area's in are town's and city's. Sorry I lost for a minute were I was. Ha! Anyway overall Leigh good town to visit but could do with few more known retailers in the town. But it's the market that's worth a visit. Thanks Leigh Market making my visit pleasurable.

Still a great little market, great variety of stalls. Most of the stalls were open, a few empty ones but much better than Wigan Markets occupancy stats for the past at least 10 years! Not been to Leigh Market for years as not been in the area again till now. Will defo be going back there now that I have sussed out where I can park reasonably close (I need to park close by as I can't walk very far from the car but I don't have a blue badge) for free on my lunch break to nip in.

Great little indoor Market. Nipped in here after having an appointment locally. Must be 5 years since my last visit and has not changed much. Lots of local foods, and all stalls clean and well laid out. My marker of a good shopping area is how many items you come out with that you never went in to buy. In this case handfulls - from local potatoes to a chicken. 5 star. Pop in if you're going past. Loads of parking (not free though) but cheap enough. Recommended.

A good little indoor market with plenty of variety for the size. Ideally situated between the main shopping streets of Leigh, indoor shops and Tesco's, which offers plenty of parking but difficult to get out of at times like Xmas as only one exit.

I found this market very useful. You can find most things you might need in your everyday life. Most things are cheaper and /or you can't buy them in the supermarkets. If I have the time, I am always happy to go there even just for a bit of browsing the stalls (I know it is annoying to the stallholders, but I can't buy everything all the time ?)

***JUICY JACKETS *** ? ? hot & fresh jacket potatoes & stone-baked pizza/ garlic bread !! Made while you wait! Or place an order and pick up for your dinner. Reasonable prices and amount of food, they put a good amount of toppings on and you can have whatever salad you like free! Cute little business situated near home bargains (Thursday till Saturday) and the jackets are amazing from this oven. You can’t beat that homemade garlic butter on The jackets or garlic bread and if you like a little kick the chilli cheese garlic bread is delicious ??

I have said this before the best value for price and quality for sausages, beef you will not beat the Fishman. It is a pity BM has gone but this market takes some beating, but I wish they would sort out the background music. I wonder however,who is the planner who has decided to reduce the parking capacity.

Harold Tudge

It's a good size and with a great variety of items. Foods, clothing, ornaments, cards, and lots more. There's a huge carpark a very short walk away, and the bus station, so it's accessible for everyone. As it's linked to a shopping centre there's that to check out too, along with a generous choice of coffee shops and cafes. It's nice.

Graham Phillips

Has a decent amount of stalls with a diverse range of consumer goods. Also has 2 cafés if you fancy a cuppa, sandwich or even a full meal. The fresh flowers stall is a must for cut flowers that last a long time or even some outdoor plants. There is ample parking available on Spinning gate although this is pay and display.
