St Nicholas Market

My favourite place in Bristol is St Nicholas Market. It's ¹.............. amazing markets in Britain, and you can almost feel its long history. It's definitely worth ².............. When you enter, you see hundreds of colourful products, from vintage clothes and jewellery to local arts and crafts. You can smell ³..............  street food like Indian curry or Algerian falafel. I love walking between the stalls, watching people and seeing what they buy. It's ⁴.............. experience. But what makes this place really special is an ⁵.............. wonderful glass roof over the stalls.

If you ever come to Bristol, don't forget ⁶..............  by at St Nicholas Market and have lunch. Take time to look for souvenirs (or up at the sky) with a cup of ⁷.............. good coffee in your hand. We're looking forward ⁸.............. you there.
