Weekly Tuesday Market

Reviewed By ReallyBadHat

Visitors no the area we had Tuesday morning to ourselves, so glad we happened into Thame with a chance to experience the market. Spread up the high street, it was very busy with locals and visitors alike. It had a great selection of stalls - toys, antiques, hats, material. The quality food stalls would draw me back - cheese, fishmonger, olives, greengrocers, butchers, bakers - all with excellent produce If you as in the area, definitely drop by and browse, bet you’ll buy something.

Oxford Covered Market

Oxford Covered Market features more than 50 traders selling fresh produce, gifts, fashion, flowers and jewellery, and provides a unique showcase for the very best in local crafts, food and drink. We are proud that the majority of our businesses are independent and with some going back generations. Oxford Covered Market, which was designed by Magdalen Bridge architect John Gwynn, first opened as a market for meat, fish, vegetables and herbs on 1 November 1774. It was then enlarged several times, rebuilt and fully roofed over during the 19th century. Visitors can still see original iron roof supports, cast by Dewer Foundry in London in 1839; 1830s market fronts, complete with moulded cornice and pilasters; and iron bars projecting from shop fronts that date from the 19th century and were used to hang meat. The Covered Market, which was Grade II-listed in 2000, is a rarity because it has been in continual use as a market for almost 250 years.

One way system around the stalls, excellent fruit and veg from the veg-man today, and picked up a lovely loaf, bread rolls, and a lardy cake from the bread stall. No real queues, first-class produce.
