Located in the heart of Oxford’s historic city centre, the world-famous Oxford Covered Market is home to more than 50 specialist traders. With its roots going back to the 1770s, it’s one of the oldest continually operating markets in the UK and a true Oxford institution.
Far from your typical high street experience, the Covered Market offers a one-of-a-kind mix of independent shops and boutiques alongside a wide range of cafes, bars, and eateries. Whether you’re browsing for locally made gifts, jewellery, fashion, homewares or artisan produce, the market’s warm, welcoming atmosphere makes it the perfect all-weather destination.
From Thursday to Saturday, the market now stays open into the evening – with live music, comedy, creative workshops, and delicious food and drink. Check the Covered Market’s weekly events update on their website for the latest listings and make it a day-to-night experience.
Discover what makes Oxford Covered Market a must-visit this year from the people behind the stalls to the vibrant events that bring the space to life.
