Where is the UK's best food market? UPDATE

Here are the markets you've nominated so far as the nation's best.

Farmers’ and food markets are an age-old tradition in the UK, although they have only made a serious comeback in the last 15 years or so as more of us shun the ‘stack ‘em cheap, pile ‘em high’ mentality of the big supermarkets.

They are an essential part of what makes local communities interesting and special, with local delicacies for sale – depending on where you are it could be cheese, pies, seafood or beer – alongside more common fruit and veg.

We think these markets are worth celebrating and so we want to know about your favourites. It could be your local weekly farmers’ market, or a less regular produce market, or even one of the big markets such as Borough Market in London.

What makes them special? What do you get there that you can’t find elsewhere?
