There has been a weekly market in Chippenham since King John first granted a charter to hold one in April 1205. Later King Edward extended the privilege in 1314 so that an additional market could be held on a Saturday.
These historic twice-weekly markets, now held on Friday and Saturday, which from June 1st came under the control of Chippenham Town Council.
Casual and permanent pitches are available. Do you have a hobby and would like to sell your work? You don’t have to trade both days if you prefer only one. Are you an artisan maker or producer on a small scale and want to test the market? Come and give Chippenham a try!
If you have any ideas on what you would like to be included in the market, how we could improve the market or if you are interested in having a stall, we would love to hear from you.
8:30am – 4pm Friday and Saturday
