A market town that still loves its markets
Abingdon-on-Thames is a market town that still enjoys the unique atmosphere of a lively market. Our town centre has a lovely Market Places run by the town council and overlooked by the beautiful County Hall.
The Market Place hosts a range of community events and stalls through the year, together with a weekly Charter market, a monthly Farmers’ Market which takes place on the third Friday of the month, as well as regular craft fairs.
Local Excellence Markets also take place throughout the year, organised by Abingdon Events Partnership. For more information please see here.
The Market Place is available for use by local community groups to give out information, who have charitable purposes or who operate on a not-for-profit basis. In order to use the Market Place for an event you need to make a booking with the Town Council well in advance. For more information and booking forms please see here.
