Due to the current pedestrianisation construction work taking place in Braintree town centre, there will be a limited number of stalls in the areas which are open for pedestrian use across the town centre. Once the pedestrianisation scheme works are complete soon, this will help provide a bigger and more vibrant stall offer for future markets, incorporating built-in seating, more electricity supplies to allow for more stalls, trees and more litter bins.

Keep up to date on the latest news and details of the street markets on this page or via their Instagram page. 

Market traders attending on the day will have COVID-19 measures in place at their stalls.

Traders interested in becoming stallholders at the markets can contact Braintree District Council on 01376 552525 or fill in the application form online.
