Bristol s Tobacco Factory Market announces plans to return
It attracts visitors from all over the city
Updated
One of Bristol s most popular weekly markets has announced plans to return.
The Tobacco Factory s Sunday market attracts people from all over the city thanks to its tempting selection of street food traders and independent retailers.
It s made even more popular by the fact it is held in the car park of the Tobacco Factory s much loved cafe-bar, which serves beers from some of Bristol s top breweries and a delicious food menu.
The Southville market has not taken place since January 3 as its organisers decided not to run it throughout the third national lockdown - but it will return next month, on April 18.

Independent food venues say the launch of a delivery app is giving them hope for their future after lockdown ends.
The Bristol British Association of Independents (BARBI) App will take on 40 enterprises, with more waiting to join in the near future.
Companies that use it will pay a 15 percent commission, which they claim is half of what some rival apps ask for.
Owner of Thali Café in Easton Pepe Blanco said the small fee will help his venue survive past the pandemic.
