Preston Markets

Open Market.

Operating on four days a week, the outdoor market, situated underneath the splendid Victorian canopy next to the Market Hall, comes to life with a traditional open market. Over 140 stalls can be accommodated in this central location right in the heart of Preston City Centre. The Market is full of character, colour and charm but perhaps of more importance, excellent goods with friendly services and bargains galore. Each stall is designed to entice the shoppers and the browsers or simply those walking through the town.
