Oxford's Covered Market
We have been trading in the heart of Oxford for more than 200 years and have many stories to tell. Our recent Heritage Lottery project has compiled some of these but we are sure that there are many others as yet untold.
Our market thrives on the expertise and experience of those people who choose to trade here, our suppliers and buyers, and those who come and spend their money here. So, whether you are a visitor or a local resident, business or student, we extend you a warm welcome and look forward to making you a loyal customer.
The Covered Market Blog
With the on-going scandal of horse meat in burgers and ready meal products from supermarkets many people are turning to their local butchers for meat. In fact smaller firms are witnessing a surge in demand for locally-sourced food.
The Covered Market will be holding a Carol Service in the main square of the market on the 17th December at 12.30.

More about the market
Access to Oxford's Covered Market could not be easier.
Enter one of the main entrances from the High Street, under the blue canopies. Wander through Golden Cross from Cornmarket, browsing in some of the great little shops on the way. Or, come around the back for the real Market experience where you will see the hustle and bustle and the less commercial face of our operation - via Market Street (from Cornmarket or Turl Street).
