North Weald Market is England's largest regular Saturday and bank Holiday Monday Market held on a former Battle of Britain airfield with historic links to WW1 and is still an active airfield to this day. The market is held on an immense concrete and tarmac apron with hundreds of stalls selling a vast array of goods at discount prices. To visit all the stalls would need an entire day particularly as the market has recently expanded it's vastness by introducing even more stalls in Hangar 1 which is adjacent to the outside stalls.

Car parking is free and the airfield can boast parking for several 1000's of cars. There is a designated Disabled parking area for over 250 vehicles with disabled toilet facilities complete with wheelchair ramps. We subsidise scheduled Arriva bus services from Harlow, Loughton, Epping and Ongar so that customers can take advantage of very cheap return ticket prices and leave their cars at home if they wish. Nearest railway station is Harlow and tube station Epping.

Average attendance has been estimated at 30,000 peaking to 75,000 over Bank Holiday weekends at Easter. Next to the market is a car boot sale which is closely monitored to ensure that only second hand items are sold on it as an added attraction. The Airfield museum is open on market days too. The market is an "own rig" market whereby traders sell from their own stalls and units however a limited amount of stalls may be available by booking in advance from IH Services our Support Company details of which can be found under IH Services heading. No Electric. Directions for North Weald as follows: Off Junction 7 of M11 and follow Tourist Brown Signs along A414 to North Weald Airfield Market.
