The market won the 2020 title in a competition run by the National Association of British Market Authorities.

Judges praised the market's plans to evolve to meet the needs of local people, as well as the way traders work alongside the council.

Swansea councillor, Robert Francis-Davies said, 'Swansea previously won the best large indoor market title five years ago – it’s good to have it back!'
