We go most Sunday's for our fruit and vege. Good for seasonal stuff and sometimes an interesting range if you want something a little different. Some of the growers don't do it year round, so can be a bit hit and miss.
Some craft stuff, but I don't usually bother with it. There are a few meat sellers, one or two for smoked fish, a few for french pastries (a bit overpriced I feel), some cheeses, breads and that sort of thing.
I generally have a look around, get my vege and that's it.

As in the add on my fridge says 9.30-1.30, but then I'd get there a bit past 1 and people would be packing up because they had closed. I think it may be 9-1 now, but not sure. I didn't find I did much better by getting there early as people seem to have lots of produce.
Parking is easy and plentiful, and the men who direct you to a park a nice and friendly
