Thousands of shoppers came to city centre last weekend to browse upon Sheffield's largest street market.
The World Snooker Festival Market took place from 30th April to 4th May selling various products and foods from all over the world.
The five day market was organised by Sheffield Markets in partnership with Marketplace Europe Ltd to coincide with the World Snooker Championship at the Crucible.
Ian Hill, Director of Marketplace Europe Ltd said: “We really like bringing such a big market into Sheffield, and this year the response from the shoppers was fantastic."
Whilst some people were watching live snooker coverage on a giant plasma screen outside the crucible, others were buying didgeridoos and ostrich burgers from the many stalls.
There was over 100 traders at the market selling world products, plants and continen
tal foods such as cheese, sausages and paella.
James Davies, 46, Sheffield resident, said: "We came down here in the morning and stayed till it got dark. It's been brilliant to just wander around smelling and tasting all the different foods whilst keeping in touch with the snooker scores."
Organisers hope to return the market again next year to celebrate the World Snooker Championships at the crucible.
