Kirklees markets
Maria Cotton - January 2012
markets@kirklees.gov.uk
Kirklees is undoubtedly a district of markets – from beautifully restored Victorian and Edwardian Market Halls,
to the largest open markets in Yorkshire, fabulous farmers markets, and the best second-hand and collectors markets in the
region.
Experience a change from the sterile shopping experiences of the high street and supermarkets with a visit to your local
market, an ever-changing feast of colours, smells, sights and sounds.
For the regular customers, it is the personal attention to their requirements that draws them back time and again to
their local market, the stall-holders who remember your name, the cut of meat you prefer or the style of clothing. The
specialist knowledge and attention to customer care from our traders mean shopping at our markets is a real pleasure.
With busy lives, the weekly one-stop shop seems ideal, but is this really stress-free and quick? Why not visit your
local market during your lunch break and select the very freshest produce for your evening meal, saving on packaging and
wasted food each week? Seek advice on recipes and cooking methods from the real experts – the butchers, fishmongers
and greengrocers, not the shelf-stacker or check-out person.
Wherever you live a market is not very far away, and with nearby parking and good public transport links you can visit
markets throughout the area.You’ll find markets in the heart of many of the local towns and villages in Kirklees.

If you would like to become a market trader, then Kirklees Markets has
various markets and trading options for you to consider.
We have indoor retail markets in Huddersfield, Cleckheaton and Dewsbury which provide the opportunity to establish
a fixed business in the town centre.
Our outdoor markets in Holmfirth, Huddersfield, Batley, Birstall,
Heckmondwike, Cleckheaton and Dewsbury provide a more flexible approach, where traders do
not have to stand every market day and trading days will depend on what goods you would like to sell.
