Cirencester's Charter Market

One of the oldest charter markets in the country

Cirencester Market has a proud history and is one of the oldest charter markets in the country, having been mentioned as early as 1086 in the Domesday Book. It forms a vital part of the Town Council's policy of fostering a thriving town centre.

Cirencester Charter Market is a shopping experience not to be missed. That it is particularly attractive seems to be proved by its regular selection by film crews looking for the perfect place to film a typical country market as a backdrop for advertising on television.

You will find friendly stallholders with an array of stalls selling plants, outdoor furniture, wicker baskets, fresh food (including local produce), household goods and much more.
