Let an agent handle marketplaces by location, market days, traders, rules, food safety, heritage and accessibility.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Let an agent handle marketplaces by location, market days, traders, rules, food safety, heritage and accessibility.

It can be find market days and opening hours; find how to become a stallholder; check food safety and trading rules; learn about historic market buildings.
