The Market On The Fringe

Such rude customer service. My mum who uses a wheelchair wanted to go into the shop, the lady on the counter would not let us go through the exit which was the only part of the shop which was wheelchair friendly as the entrance had a big step outside. We was basically told to go away and not to come in

If you like home made crafts this place is amazing. Lots of lovely little gifts made by different crafts people and sold in the cooperative market. The lady serving was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the things on sale. If you're looking for a unique gift this place is definitely worth a look as they have lots of different things at various price ranges.

Came in today with a parm and family we looked around the top floor first and noticed steps, I walked out with the pram and came back through the exit to meet family at bottom level, I was shouted at by a woman on till that it wasn't acceptable and family should help carry I explained that my family can't due to bad backs, her reply was well shout me. No I'm sorry the steps were steep and I don't trust you with my newborn baby. How incredibly rude you are and reading the reviews it seems like she is rude to other customers. I hope people avoid as the level of rudeness experienced had left me incredibly angry how dare anyone talk to me like that in front of my family

I visited yesterday with my parents and our 2 children (youngest 3m in a pram). My father struggles with steps, walking generally, so was pushing the pram for balance. After looking at the top section he walked out and back in via the lower door to the bottom section - where theres more art and the till area. This avoided navigating the 4/5 steps between the two rooms. As he stepped foot into the shop he was snapped at by the very rude lady volunteering there, for breaking the one way system rule - presumably since the days of covid as it wasnt there last time we visited. My Dad tried to explain he couldnt navigate the steps, but the lady carried on barking and said something about people usually carrying prams down the steps quite fine. He quickly left! With the rest of us still in the shop, I tried to reason with her but she was having none of it. Her justification was the bus loads of people they get in the shop - but at that time there were around 5 others!! What annoyed me most is when she said something to thread effect of Im 72 and I manage the steps fine. Good for her! We were going to be buying a couple of things - but she ruined it for us, plus my Dad had the cash (no cards in 2022?!). I hoped this was a one-off bad day but maybe not looking at the other reviews. What a shame for the artists who lost out this time, and quite a few others by the sounds of it from the other reviews.
