Cirencester Town Council

Charter Market

Cirencester Charter Market was founded in 1086 and whilst many markets have disappeared, the Town Council is in a position where it is still able to provide a Charter Market on both Mondays and Fridays (9.00 a.m. to 3.00 p.m.).

Products sold by the regular market traders include cheese, homemade pies, home cured ham and bacon, wet fish, fruit and vegetables, olives, gifts, cards and much more.

Come and see for yourselves and support this valuable and historical attraction.

If you would like further information on the Charter Market or are interested in hiring a stall, please contact the Charter Market Manager, Anne Brooker, on Tel No. 01793 825343 or 07729 524017.

Abbey Grounds

The area is steeped in history, a portion of ancient Roman Wall being situated in the grounds and the site of the old St Mary's Abbey is outlined with paving.

This park provides an opportunity for relaxation, entertainment and angling. The bandstand is regularly used throughout the summer, whilst the Abbey Lake Angling Club is responsible for controlling and operating the fishing on the lake.

The Abbey Grounds stand to the north of St John the Baptist Church and provide an oasis of peace within a step of the town centre.
