There I've said it . Over the years I've been to a few ( Bath , Chester , York , Lincoln , Edinburgh , Manchester , Harrogate )
Never found one that have lived up to expectation. Mostly selling over priced rubbish , atmosphere almost zero , can hardly get to see the stalls as over crowded , kids miserable etc etc .
Anyone else feel the same ?

What exactly do people do with all these hand made craft items? Put them on the window sill?

Yes. And on shelves, and hanging on the wall.

The Bath market is an absolute gold mine for stall holders so plenty of people do go and spend money. They do try to keep a number of stalls as small, local businesses so it’s definitely one of the better ones.
