More than 40 tenants who sell regional goods are currently housed in the market.
It had also served as a launch pad for small businesses opening trend-driven restaurants and bars.
The market tweeted that its lease had not been renewed and that the final day of trading would be the following Sunday.
Sad news – our beloved market is closing. A big thank you to all our customers and vendors for their wonderful support over the years.
