For many years, Preston’s Second Hand Market ran two days a week, on a Tuesday and a Thursday. After the pandemic, lockdowns and subsequent reduction in footfall, a decision was made to reduce the market to one day a week.

Now that lockdowns are over and life is beginning to return to a normal pace, a decision has been made to add the Thursday opening back to the Preston Market schedule.

If you would like to trade on the Second Hand Market, you can simply turn up on the day and call in to the Market Office which is located on Birley Street, between 6am and 9am. 

The fee to trade on a Thursday is set at £10 for a regular trader and £13 for a casual trader. This is slightly lower than the fees on a Tuesday, which is £15 and £12 respectively.

Councillor Robert Boswell, Cabinet Member for Environment and Community said:   “I warmly welcome the news that the Second-Hand Market is returning to Preston on a Thursday, in addition to the ongoing Tuesday slot.

“Since the markets have reopened, the increase in footfall figures is above the national average which demonstrates how valued Preston’s Markets and their traders are.”
