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.
