Chard Town Council formally took over the management of the outdoor street market in September 2012. This was formally operated by South Somerset District Council. A Royal Charter dating back to 29th June 1683 empowered the town to hold three annual fairs and three weekly markets on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
The market is comprised of a variety of stalls ranging from fruit and vegetables, meat, fish and other non produce items such as clothing and carpets.
The market takes place Saturdays 9am – 1pm on Fore Street, Chard, TA20 1PP.
