Doncaster Market can trace its origins right back to the Roman times when the local population established a vicus outside the walls of the Roman fort to trade with the garrison stationed there. Today’s market is on the very same spot and has benefited from Doncaster being on the Great North Road through the centuries.
One of the biggest and best traditional markets in the North with lots of shops, stalls and stands, Doncaster Market has been the heart of the town for hundreds of years.
The Market occupies around 25% of Doncaster’s attractively refurbished pedestrian centre, the Market precinct is truly impressive, incorporating five large indoor market halls: The Wool Market, The Corn Exchange, The International Food Hall, The Fish Market and Goose Hill – each with their own distinctive character – surrounding extensive and bustling outdoor markets.
Doncaster Market is fully open three days each week - Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. On Wednesdays the outdoor market area hosts an impressive antique/bric-a-brac market and The Wool Market is open Thursday - Sunday.
