Leicester Market is situated in the heart of the city centre and is open for six days a week, Monday to Saturday, every week of the year. The largest and finest market of its type in Europe, we have a tradition for quality and service stretching back seven hundred years.

Leicester Market offers a traditional market atmosphere with over three hundred stalls. We have a vast array of available food with over one hundred stalls every day selling fresh produce ranging from traditional fruit and vegetables, to ethnic herbs and spices. In addition, bargains can be found at all our other stalls which offer a diverse range of products such as clothing, footwear, bags, jewellery, second hand and household products amongst others.

Last year, Leicester Market was redeveloped with the introduction of a continental coffee bar, a new market layout with fifteen lockable units, the creation of wider aisles, signage and improved lighting. The area where the new units have been established has become very popular with traders, selling a wide range of quality commodities such as dried flowers, cosmetics, bags, cards, electrical goods, fabrics, mobile phones and clothing. The market is indeed a real super market and needs to be seen to be believed.

Next to the Outdoor Market there is also an Indoor Market which offers a further seventy nine stalls. Within the Indoor Market (Tuesday – Saturday) is one of the finest fish markets in the country. There is a great variety of fish, from cod to eel, shark to lobster, it is all there and furthermore the traders will be more than happy to tell you how to prepare that exotic dish you have been planning to cook. Recipes are provided at some participating stalls.

The upper levels of the Indoor Market host traders selling wools and knitting equipment, foam, linen and clothing. When you have done your shopping there will also be the opportunity to dine in our market restaurant that offers a wide menu to cover most tastes.

So, why not come to Leicester Market, it has all you need under one roof and at an affordable price.
