St Albans Market
Location in Hertfordshire
St Albans Market is an outdoor street market in the cathedral city and market town of St Albans. The market runs from Market Place North-East up St Peter's Street to the junction with Catherine Street—for a length of 485 metres (1,591 ft)—and is managed by St Albans City & District Council.
Following the closure of Canterbury Market in 2022,[1] St Albans is England’s second oldest market after York’s Shambles Market as well as the oldest English street market and the oldest market in England that is still held on its original site.[2][3] In 2024 St Albans Market was awarded the title Best Large Outdoor Market by the National Association of British Market Authorities.[4]
