The renowned Loughborough Market has been part of the town’s history for over 800 years and is rich in character, atmosphere and colour. Over 100 stalls every Thursday and Saturday offer a variety of products from fresh produce to confectionary, clothing to household goods.
Visitors can also enjoy a number of specialist markets throughout the year.
Loughborough is famous for its traditional markets and annual street fair. In 2021, it celebrated the 800th anniversary the Royal Charters which granted permission for the market and fair to be held. They were awarded by King Henry III to Hugh le Despenser who was the Lord of the Manor. King Henry was just nine at the time and he later confirmed the charters in 1227.
For Love Your Local Market this year, we will be showcasing our markets and its traders through press releases and social media content.
