Experience the Historic Banbury Market

Banbury Market is the heart of our town and has been a staple of local life for centuries. Located in the historic Market Place, this bustling open-air market brings together the best of Oxfordshire and the surrounding countryside. Whether you are a regular visitor or just passing through, there is always something unique to discover.

What to Expect

Every Thursday and Saturday, the square comes alive with the Charter Market. You can browse a huge variety of stalls offering:

  • Fresh Local Produce: Seasonal fruit and vegetables, artisanal breads, and locally sourced cheeses.
  • Home and Garden: Vibrant plants, flowers, and practical household essentials.
  • Fashion and Gifts: A rotating selection of clothing, accessories, and handcrafted items.

Special Monthly Events

Beyond the weekly staples, we host specialized markets that celebrate our region’s heritage and food culture:

  • Farmers' Market: Join us on the first Friday of every month for premium goods sold directly by the people who grow, rear, or bake them.
  • Antiques and Collectibles: Look out for vintage treasures and unique curiosities on the second and fourth Thursday of each month.

Plan Your Visit

The market is open from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and is easily accessible by foot from the High Street or the Castle Quay Shopping Centre. It is the perfect place to grab a coffee, chat with local traders, and support the small businesses that make Banbury unique.
