Possibly the most successful market in Lancashire is Fleetwood. Interesting to note the following that I came across -

"New opening hours for Fleetwood Market

Following consultation with customers and traders, Fleetwood Market will now open four days a week all year round from 1 October.

The increase in winter trading days follows a successful trial of Thursday opening in the run up to Christmas for the past three years. The move will meet increased demand and remove any confusion for the hundreds of thousands of shoppers who visit this gem each year, as trading days have previously been different in winter and summer.

Now the market will be open Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 9am to 4.30pm, regardless of the season.

While other markets are struggling and facing closure, Fleetwood Market is bucking the trend. Despite the effects of the recession and temporary loss of trams to the town, there is still a waiting list for stalls on the inside market and a planning application will shortly be submitted to create additional permanent stalls on the outside market."

What is so special about Accy Market that it has to open 6 days?
