A Council-run market, dating back to the 1600s, selling general goods at bargain prices.

When you visit the market

If you or a member of your household have any of the symptoms of COVID-19, you must not visit the market. You must stay at home, and follow NHS guidelines.

To minimise the use of public transport, consider walking or cycling to the market if possible.

A one-way system has been put in place in parts of the market area where space is restricted. This will enable visitors to access and exit the market to all local TfL bus and train routes. This also means that visitors will be able to to walk around the stalls that are open for business in a safe and controlled way.

Some market stalls will have a different entry point and will limit the number of customers on their pitch at a time. Please wait until the trader beckons you forward before entering their stall.

When you visit the market you must:
- stay 2 metres away from other people, and where possible visit the market alone
- observe the social distancing markers that are in place throughout the market
- avoid any unnecessary contact with other people
- wash your hands regularly - public toilets are open adjacent to the gate on Beresford Street

We also recommend wearing a face covering when visiting the market.
