Trading at a market

To become a trader at one of Durham's markets, contact the operator.

Why trade at a market?

  • It's a low cost retail option compared to purchasing or leasing a premises
  • Network with other traders and learn from one another
  • Benefit from the footfall of local events, high streets and tourism
  • There may be incentives offered for first time traders or business start ups

Do I need a licence to be a market trader?

No, you do not need a licence to have a stall in a market.
