Leigh Market

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

Quiet market, but great to see these stall holders surviving, and keeping a market town with the bits & pieces we all need.

Good stalls with many bargains to had, however I feel the building is extremely dated and needs a renovation also there's a smell in there that hits you when you walk in. I would like to reiterate that the stalls and staff are great. Just the building is very dated n falling apart.

I hadn't been to Leigh for donkeys years, so I was very surprised to find this market there. Had a wonderful coffee and looksey around. Would recommend without doubt.

Many empty stalls and prices aren't competitive. Maybe if Wigan council weren't screwing the tenants for every penny they can get, it would improve 100%

A pleasure to walk round and shop.. Well lite and clean. The stall holders are friendly. And the cafe at rear of the market sells the best meat and potato pie with gravy, that I have had in a long time.

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.

Getting poor there now. Quality of produce dropping and prices rising. Get better quality at a better price at Bury market. Bit further to travel but more choice. Although parking is not free it is cheap

Some good old fashioned shops and stalls and they sell carts pasties, but as a whole it's very run down and shabby.

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.

Leigh market is absolutely brilliant. Go every week to do my shopping. Better products and easier to get around. Price's of products are very reasonable and excellent value for money. Easy to get to and plenty of parking spaces. 10/10.

We have always loved a good market, Leigh is still good but is dwindling a bit as probably stall rents are being hiked up. Nothing better than fresh meat from a butcher and fresh veg and fruit.

Love Leigh Market. The stall holders are friendly and helpful. It has something for everyone and is great value for money. The staff at Julie's perfumes in particular, are always lovely and helpful. And the gentleman on the handbag stall has gone above and beyond to find a particular handbag for me - thank you so much.

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.

I can only give this place 4 out of of five stars because he used to be a buzzing place there are still very good proprietors as me and my mother always know quality Food beef meat and fish has any normal market would do but I would say there are a cut Above the rest

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.

I do love this market. Good selection of stalls. The meat and veg stalls always have bang in fresh produce. Only stall I've not had anything from is the fish stall. No one ever there to serve! The bread/pie stalls are excellent and value for money

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.

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.

Leigh Market retains some of the traditional feel of a local market with a good range of stalls and a good social feeling illustrated by the groups of locals seen talking or eating together at the cafes, it's also very close to the bus station making it easily accessible
