About

Riverside Market, held every Sunday on Fitzhamon Embankment opposite the Principality Stadium, is Cardiff’s original farmers’ market and a celebrated showcase of Welsh food and craft. Established in 1998, it has grown from a handful of stalls into one of the UK’s best-known markets, renowned for its commitment to sustainability and community spirit2. Visitors can browse an ever-changing selection of local produce, from organic vegetables, artisan bread, and farmhouse cheeses to street food inspired by global flavours. Many traders are small independent businesses, some of which have gone on to open award-winning restaurants and shops. The riverside setting offers a relaxed atmosphere with views across the Taff, making it as much a social gathering as a shopping destination. As a not-for-profit social enterprise, Riverside Market supports local farmers and makers while giving Cardiff residents and visitors direct access to fresh, seasonal, and ethically produced goods, cementing its place as a cornerstone of the city’s food culture.
