Covered Market, Market hall in central Oxford, England
The Oxford Covered Market features over 50 independent shops, cafes, and food stalls within a large Victorian indoor structure with multiple entrances.
The market opened on November 1, 1774, following architect John Gwynn's design to organize street vendors who previously cluttered Oxford's main thoroughfares.
Local butchers maintain the tradition of producing the Oxford sausage, while other vendors sell fresh produce, dairy products, and artisanal goods.
The market maintains regular opening hours with access through four entrances from High Street, one from Cornmarket, and three from Market Street.
In 2017, Oxford City Council invested 1.6 million pounds in roof repairs, new facilities, exterior improvements, and enhanced signage throughout the market.
