Northstowe Market

Published: 01 July 2025

On Tuesday 24th of June, the Town Council deliberated on the market, and unanimously decided to temporarily pause any market activity in order to take stock and reevaluate the situation. A dedicated market working group was set up tasked to look at any future opportunities for local traders to showcase their offers, e.g. at Festivals, Events or other occasions.

Please note that the market scheduled for Sunday 6th July is not going ahead.

The Town Council has invested significantly in setting up and running the market. However, the attendance numbers from residents and traders were not as promising as we had hoped. As the market did not seem to bring the community added value the Council envisaged, Councillors felt that this was the right decision for both residents and traders operating in the market, for the time being.

We would like to thank all traders, volunteers and residents supporting the market, and hope that in the near future we will come up with a renewed initiative that is fit for our growing and vibrant town.

We will soon reach out to the wider community for your valuable insights on the markets you have attended and any suggestions for the future. Residents or businesses with an interest in the market are also welcome to join the market working group discussions. Please contact our team at : markets@northstowetowncouncil.gov.uk
