Apply to be a market trader

We welcome new traders to our markets and will always take the time to chat to any interested potential trader who might add positively to the mix or what we offer to our customers. However, before you contact us we ask that you are able to provide proof of at least £5 million public liability insurance.

We also ask any food traders to register with our Public Protection team and comply with all current food hygiene regulations: Register a food business.

We are happy to discuss further details with traders and will issue a copy of current market rules on request.
