Chorley Markets - popular Tuesday market
Chorley is famous for its markets, which date back to 1498 - the most popular market day in the Lancashire town is Tuesday!
These days the borough is proud of the tradition but the market has moved on - there's a cash point on site and the range of goods mirrors the popular lines of the High Street. Food and local fresh produce is one of the major strengths.
There are two main areas which make up Chorley Markets - the famous Flat Iron (sometimes known locally as the 'Cattle Market') and Chorley Covered Market, which makes up the heart of the town with static lock up stalls as well as casual availability. Download our
