Sir Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke Market (also known as Victoria Market) is the main market of Victoria, Seychelles.
History
[edit]Built-in 1840 and renovated in 1999, this early-Victorian-style market offers fresh produce, fish, meat, spices, and affordable local crafts.[1][2] The market was renamed the Selwyn-Clarke Market to honor Sir Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke as former Governor of Seychelles.[3]
Open Monday to Friday until late afternoon, it’s busiest on Saturdays and usually closed on Sundays.[3]
As of March 2025, the market is undergoing renovations and has been temporarily moved to the former STC Supermarket in Victoria.[1][4]
