If you love nothing more than rooting around rails to discover a new treasured piece of clothing or meandering around a food market to find new flavours, Bath has you covered. From weekly staples to annual events, Bath’s market scene offers a one-of-a-kind shopping experience with more independent traders than you can shake a stick at.
Green Park Station
Many of Bath’s regular markets take place in the historic Green Park Station. Built in the 1860s, Green Park Station was originally called Queen Square Station, and was a working railway station until the 1960s. The derelict site was restored as a retail and market space in the 1980s, and has provided a space to support local businesses ever since. Green Park Station hosts an array of regular markets, including Bath Farmers’ Market, Bath Flea Market and Bath Vintage and Antiques Market.
