Cardiff Indoor Flea Market
Cardiff Indoor Flea Market fills three halls of a former warehouse in Tremorfa with more than 70 stalls of antiques, collectables, vinyl, vintage clothing and mid-century furniture. Opened in 2014, it trades on set days of the week and has free parking and its own tea room.

What you'll find
Stalls cover fine china, jewellery, art, toys, records, retro and mid-century pieces and vintage clothes, and some traders restore and repair furniture. It is a place for a slow browse rather than a quick errand, and regular rummagers will tell you stock changes from week to week. The founders opened it in a disused warehouse because of a long-standing love of antiques and collectables, and the site describes itself as one of the largest auction and market sites in Wales.
Practical bits
The market is all on one level with accessible toilets and baby changing, and dogs are welcome. The warehouse is unheated, so dress for it in winter. Every stall takes cash and some take cards, so bring some money with you. Some traders can deliver larger items. Tea rooms on site serve hot and cold drinks, cakes and light meals, so you can stay for the morning without leaving to eat.
Planning a visit
It opens on Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays and bank holiday Mondays. The site is on an industrial estate east of the centre, so most people drive and use the free car park. Make a morning of it with a break in the tea room, then head back towards Roath for coffee at Sparrow Coffee House.
