Market history

Not only is the provision market in Bury St Edmunds one of the most successful traditional street markets in the country, it also has one of the longest and most colourful histories, dating back to before the days of William the Conqueror. The market charter was issued by King John in 1202 and there has been a market in Bury St Edmunds ever since.

At various times the market has been split into several sections, including: provisions, a corn market, a livestock market and a fish market. The provisions market occurs every Wednesday and Saturday in the Cornhill and Buttermarket area of town.

The market has grown rapidly over time and now has over 80 stalls for visitors and the local community to explore.
