Planning a day trip this weekend?
Make it a market day too.
Markets are full of local traders, food, independent businesses and the real character of a place.
Support small businesses and discover somewhere properly.
PROUDLY LOCAL.
MAKE IT A MARKET DAY.

Next to the person is a mascot dressed as an owl wearing a NABMA shirt, posing with their head through the frame. They are in an indoor setting, possibly a market or event space.
From market halls and outdoor markets to food festivals, young trader events and community celebrations, #LYLM2026 showed markets at their very best.
Thank you to everyone who took part and made it a market day.

Great to see @CoveredMarketOx and its amazing independent traders getting a shout out in yesterday’s @TheOxfordMail, alongside our fabulous Gloucester Green Market.
Shop small, shop local, and support Oxford’s markets 💗

Love seeing these glimpses into market history 💖 Markets have always been places where people come together to shop, chat and support local businesses, and that’s still just as true today ✨
