TAKE PART
Becoming a Market Trader is a great way to start up your own business with very little cost or overheads. At Northampton Market, we encourage new ideas and unusual lines and we will try to fit you in the best place for your stall, to complement you and all the Traders surrounding you.
Whether you are an experienced Trader or a first-time Market Trader, why not give Northampton a try? We have one of largest and most attractive Market Squares in England.
What to do next
Once you know what you want to sell – please see our list of new and additional lines we are looking for - it’s time to decide which day or days you would like to trade. We are open Tuesday through to Saturday. Monday is for perishable produce only: fresh fruit, vegetables, flowers and plants.
You will need Public Liability Insurance for £5million.
Our all-weather stalls are 9’ x 9’6”. Boards and trestles are available for you to use and electricity and rubbish removal is included in the Market Tolls.
New Traders MUST contact the Market Office before standing.
