Pickering Market

Held every Monday in the heart of this historic town, Pickering Market is a lively and welcoming event that reflects the character of the Moors. Located along Market Place, the market brings together a mix of stalls offering fresh produce, baked goods, plants, clothing, crafts, and household essentials.

Pickering’s market is known for its friendly atmosphere and scenic setting, with the town’s heritage buildings and independent shops providing a charming backdrop. Visitors often combine a trip to the market with a visit to nearby attractions such as Pickering Castle or the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, making it a popular stop for day-trippers and holidaymakers.

Unlike larger markets in neighbouring towns, Pickering’s retains a distinctly local feel, with many traders serving the community for generations. The market is easy to explore on foot, and nearby cafés and pubs offer plenty of options for a post-market bite or drink.

Whether you're browsing for something fresh, picking up a handmade gift, or simply soaking up the atmosphere, Pickering Market offers a relaxed and authentic taste of Yorkshire market life.
