Leek Retail Markets

Leek Charter Market header d (1)

Leek Markets have been at the heart of the towns shopping experience since the first Royal Market charter was issued by King John granting Ranulph de Blondeville, 6th Earl of Chester, the right to hold a weekly Wednesday market and an annual seven-day fair in Leek in 1207.

Following a successful bid to the Government's Levelling Up Fund, we have been awarded £17.1m to regenerate Leek town centre.

Part of the funds are being used to carry out improvements to the Butter and Trestle markets.

* Please note that the Trestle and Butter market are currently closed for refurbishment. *
