Becoming a new trader at Leicester is simple and straightforward. As a casual trader you can experiment with trading on different days and locations so you can get an idea of what works best for you.
The best thing is there is no obligation for you to trade for any period of time so you can choose what suits your schedule. There are limitations to the products that can be sold at the market including restricted commodities which are listed on our website.
Trading some goods such as food requires extra checks which need to be completed in advance.
Outdoor redevelopment works
As Leicester Market will shortly be going through a transitional phase with a full market redevelopment, we are currently only accepting casual traders. However, we won’t be taking on new traders on a casual or permanent basis who sell the following:
- fruit and vegetables
- second hand goods
- fabric and material
- underwear/nightwear
- electrical goods
- mobile phones
- smoking accessories
- hats, scarves and gloves.
