Markets
Abingdon-on-Thames is a market town that still enjoys the unique atmosphere of a lively market. Our town centre boasts one of the most fit-for-purpose Market Places in the country, run by the Town Council. As well as the many community events and stalls that pop up here on a regular basis, there are markets, farmers' markets and craft fairs on a weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual cycle.
Farmers' Market 21st December for local, good quality produce followed by Monday Market Day for Christmas Eve fruit, vegetables, flowers, produce, clothes and gifts. There will be no market on New Year's Eve so 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th January launch the new year with the third Friday Farmers' Market on 18th January.
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. All the forms are here, or please call in between 9.30 am and 3.00 pm including Saturday. The organiser of any event has to carry proof that the event has a licence to trade and take money in aid of a legitimate cause.
Saturdays are popular and many are booked well ahead.
