About

Bristol’s famous St Nick’s Market has opened its doors to a new museum to showcase some of the market’s rich history. 

From its early beginnings to the present mix of gifts, fashion and food, the market’s Story Shop museum includes memories of the flower market, the fruit market and music nights at The Exchange. 

Visitors will have the opportunity to get involved in activities including printing workshops and guided tours to help paint a picture of the changes and life at the market over the last 280 years.

To help build on the collection, working in collaboration with visitors, the museum is inviting people to come along and share their own experiences and memories of the market to add to the display.

Established in 1743, St Nick’s is now home to the largest collection of independent retailers in Bristol. The historic indoor and outdoor markets house over 60 stalls, selling a range of unique gifts, quality crafts, clothing and fashion, accessories, books, records and food.

The museum is located opposite Treasure Islands Sweets in the covered market.
