Newport Market (also known as Newport Provisions Market) is a traditional Victorian indoor market, erected in 1854. It is an early example of a large-span cast iron-frame building featuring a glass-filled barrel roof.
The Market is situated in the city centre and is within easy walking distance of other shops and the bus and rail stations.

"The market houses over 100 stalls over two floors offering a variety of high-quality fresh produce and stock. Stalls include a first-class butchers, greengrocers, a fishmonger, a traditional confectioner's stall as well as being home to Newport's premier Welsh shop, Newport Welsh Gifts. An eclectic selection of Art and Craft stalls, coffee shops and hairdressers reside upstairs alongside the Jerome Gatehouse Collection Military band archive and a huge matchstick model of the Newport Transporter Bridge. The market also houses a Business Centre on the upper floors.

Entrances to the market are located in Upper Dock Street (Market Square), High Street, Market Street and Griffin Street." Text Source:
