Kendal Street Market
Wednesday & Saturday
With a market charter dating from 1189, Kendal has altered
greatly over the years, although even today there are local "Butter
Ladies" selling their wares on Saturday mornings. The indoor market
is open 6 days a week and outdoor markets are held every Wednesday
and Saturday.
The indoor
market was constructed in 1886 using money raised by
public subscription, and totally refurbished
in 1988.
Access is from the Market Place or
the Multi-storey car park by way of the Westmorland Shopping
Centre.
The Indoor Market now offers a wide
range of quality products from the 18 permanent units and 20
tables.
There is also a café serving hot and
cold snacks.
Pay the Market Hall a visit, there's
always a warm welcome waiting.
Although Kendal's population
is only around 26,000, it has a catchment of a
quarter of a million people and Kendal's markets and
shops are centres of great interest for visitors and locals
alike - a credit to its attraction.
The town itself is well worth visiting, a stopover in "The
Gateway to the Lakes" will interest long distance travellers and
day-trippers alike.
