Leicester Market

The outdoor market sells a wide variety of goods, particularly fruit and vegetables, but also flowers, clothes, second-hand-books, bric-a-brac and jewellery.

It also has a number of permanent units, containing clothes, cosmetics, fabrics, greetings cards, a cafe and pet products.

The traders who were based there either moved to the new Food Hall - built adjacent to The Corn Exchange as a partial replacement and opened in April 2014 – or to stalls on the Outdoor Market.

A statue of John Manners, 5th Duke of Rutland stands close to the Corn Exchange.

The market is protected by a Royal Charter that goes back to its origin over 700 years ago.
