About this place
Skipton Market is an outdoor market on the High Street, with stalls on the cobbled areas alongside the town-centre shops. Skipton Town Council administers it on behalf of Skipton Castle, which owns the market charter.
The council lists regular market days as Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, generally from 9am to 4.30pm. Some food traders start earlier, and extra market days can be added near Christmas. Individual traders decide whether to attend, so the same stalls are not guaranteed on every market day. If you are travelling for a particular trader, check with the council's market team first. Allow for the cobbled surface when planning your visit.
