Market trader information and guidance on how to trade at a Somerset market

IntroductionNew tradersOur marketsMarket rightsTrader information and documents

Introduction

We operate and manage weekly stall markets in Somerset. These markets sell Somerset produce, food and drink, crafts and a range of general items. In addition, a Christmas market takes place in Wells leading up to the festive season.

New traders

We are always looking out for new traders who can offer something different at our markets.

Due to Glastonbury and Wells markets currently being oversubscribed, we are unable to accept or process applications to trade at these markets.

We do have pitches available at Frome, Shepton Mallet and Street markets, and are accepting applications from traders to trade at these markets. When pitches become available at Glastonbury or Wells markets, we will update this notice accordingly.

We are always looking out for new traders who can offer something different at our markets. In particular, we would like to hear from producers of good food.

For more information regarding our prices, see our stall rental charges.

Please see our trader Information below and complete the online form if you would like to trade at any of our markets.
