Welcome to Sheffield Markets
Sheffield has held markets for over 700 years and presently Sheffield Markets hosts a variety of indoor, outdoor and specialist markets. You can purchase a huge variety of fresh foods including meat, fish, fruit & vegetables; browse the large selection of clothing, cosmetics and household supplies all in one place.
As part of Sheffield City Council, Sheffield Markets operates markets all over Sheffield sometimes as part of an event, e.g. the Craft market at the Fright Night event, and sometimes purely a market, e.g. Castle Market & The Moor market. We aim to make our markets accessible and appealing to everyone which is why the product offered by our market traders varies depending on where they trade. We are also proud that our markets offer excellent value for money to customers which is why many of them return time after time.
All of the traders within Sheffield Markets have adopted the Markets Charter so that customers can shop with total confidence. If you would like further information on this Charter, please contact Sheffield Markets on 0114 2735281 and we will happily send it to you.
At present, Sheffield Markets operates markets in Sheffield City Centre, Crystal Peaks Shopping Centre and Stocksbridge.

Occasional Temporary Markets
If you are considering holding a tabletop sale, a fete, car boot sale or something similar, it may be that your event constitutes a market. In this case, you require consent of the Council Markets Authority. We need the details of your event in order to determine the category of your event. If we decide that the event is not a market then you will not require consent.
In essence, it is unlawful for anyone to hold a market, even upon land which is in their ownership, without the City Council’s specific consent. This is because Sheffield City Council has the sole and exclusive right to hold markets (defined in law as a concourse of buyers and sellers) within a specified area, namely 6.2/3 miles from the nearest established Council market. It is not our intention to prevent private events taking place, but to licence and regulate them.
We grant two types of temporary market licence – a licence to hold a market for commercial or personal gain, and a licence to hold a market for charitable/fundraising purposes. Before we grant a licence, we require you to fill in an application form for a licence detailing your event and return it to us at Sheffield Markets at least six weeks before your event.
