Tips for Your Visit
To make the most of your visit, here are a couple of helpful tips from recent visitors:
Best Time to Visit: The market and the famous Shambles street can get very crowded. For a more enjoyable experience with fewer crowds, try visiting early in the morning or later in the afternoon, and weekdays are generally quieter than weekends.
Accessibility Note: While the market is accessible, the iconic Shambles street itself has narrow, cobbled paths which can be challenging for wheelchair users. The recommended accessible route is via Jubbergate from Parliament Street (near Pret A Manger) rather than entering directly from The Shambles.
