Newgate Market
Newgate Market is a pedestrian marketplace in the heart of York, England, featuring outdoor stalls open most days of the week. The space displays various vendors selling fresh food, meats, baked goods, handmade jewelry, flowers, and local crafts from both permanent and temporary stalls.
The Romans established York's market nearly two thousand years ago in 71 AD, and the city received an official market charter in 700 AD. In 1964, the market relocated to its current location behind buildings on Shambles and Parliament Street, and it was renamed Shambles Market after a renovation in 2014.
The market takes its name from the nearby street and is closely tied to the famous Shambles area. It serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors meet, vendors share their stories about products, and the rhythm of daily shopping brings the community together.
The market is best visited during daylight hours and sits near historic streets and cafes in the city centre. The pedestrian-friendly layout allows you to walk freely and explore the surroundings without traffic worries, making it easy to combine a visit with browsing nearby attractions.
Some vendors like Cross of York have been known for fish and seafood for decades, while Swain Family Butchers has operated here for over 50 years. These established traders create a bridge between the market's traditional roots and modern city life, offering continuity amid change.
