Bilston Market, in the heart of the Black Country, home to some right smashers, is well worth a trip to if you want some bostin' meat and two veg, orange chips and to watch people that some may deem as a bit of a dafty, mumbling to themselves and having a tinkle in a bin. The happy-go-lucky traders sell everything, from ox tongue to bog roll that has the consistency of tracing paper.

Bilston Market attracts all kinds of people searching for a bargain, from teenage, ferret faced job seekers, people with odd shoes to toothless lunatics and members of Parliment.
Why choose Bilston?
Food, drink, plastic AK47's and XXL Y-fronts under one roof.
Two down three to go.
The Market attracts over fifty thousand visitors a week, but only half of them come to shop. The remaining half use the seating areas to congregate and get hammered before Weatherspoons opens.
New for 2013, licensed bare knuckle boxing will be taking place in the car park every Wednesday and Saturday afternoons.
Tickets will range from 40p standing to £3.75 seated ringside, which includes a can of Red Stripe
and a pork, gravy and stuffing bap.
Please note: No caravans permitted on site.
