• Wells Market Place - The market place is the hub of the city. If you are visiting on a Wednesday or Sunday you will be able to experience the local market that takes place here every week. Fans of the cult film “Hot Fuzz” may recognise their surroundings as the Market Place featured a number of times in this film.
