    Amazing day to visit this Market for the first time. Has been here for decades and is one of the biggest markets in the UK boasting over 500 stalls. My feet feel it too. Pretty much everything you expect from a market but in large doses. If you want copies of your favourite trainers for a fraction of the price, or the latest designer fashion and perfume, it’s all here. I counted at least 20 different food stalls selling everything from Samosas to Kangaroo burgers, ice cream to doughnuts, you’ll be spoilt for choice. It has a large toilet block but I would suggest taking your own toilet roll and wet wipes for cleaning the moulded toilet basin or the tables that you eat at. It’s mainly a cash only market, only a few stalls take card. It’s easy to spend here and I didn’t see any cash machines on site. Massive car park, including an area for blue badge holders. Open 9am to 4pm Saturdays and bank holiday Mondays. I found out that the bank holiday Monday ones are much bigger with traders coming up from London. Will definitely be returning. Only a short way from Stratford on Avon if you want to make a full day of it.

    Literally a mixture of everything here. Very well set out, nice wide set up so you don't feel like you are walking on top of people, very important at the moment as I'm sure you will agree! I go there just for the food to be honest, but a wide range of everything here. From pushchairs, to garden stuff, to fresh meat and clothes, toys, the list is endless. There was even a stall selling sofas this week!

    Good morning out, quite a few stalls to go around mostly different with a couple the same but only 3 or 4 i think i saw doubles of them but some really great bargains to get. Also great if there's something you want or need like if you need to fill your freezer up and wanted fresh meat to freeze then the meat van is great can get pretty much what you want at a massive discount. If you have room in the freezer though.... As I never on this day unfortunately otherwise I would have brought something from him definitely.

    Huge outdoor market, set out on an airfield. I have only given 3☆ as since the start of the pandemic, the amount of stalls has been reduced. Usually there would be 3 rows, but currently only 2, which a lot of stalls are similar. It depends if you are going with the intent to buy or its more of a few hours out in fresh air, with the bonus of watching planes and helicopters, when weather is good.

    This was the first time we've been to the market in nearly 2 years, largely because of covid-19, however the market was just as good as I remember it, if not better! Loads of easily accessible parking, and stalls selling a huge array of things. Prices are...what you would expect from a market, although it was good to see quite a few stalls now accepting card, because the worry is always "how much cash should we take?". Overall, a great place to wander around for a couple of hours.

    Very good...not as good as it used to be..but still enough variety to keep you interested but I notice prices have even gone up there..so you have to check every stall. Because they do undercut each other on certain things.... The food stall... next to the butcher by the toilets .. well food is excellent ..delicious..and fair priced..

    I have been going to wellesbourne for near 40 years and have never seen it as bad as it is now. unless you want to be conned by the traders dont waste your time and money.between the fake trainers,fake designer clothing,fake perfume,pirate CD's,out of date food( cakes,biscuits and chocolate etc)out of date cosmetics and make-up, battery driven things that dont work.stuff with bits missing,fruit and veg that is way more expensive than any supermarket,clothing with holes, faded on the shoulders or shrink the first time its washed ,i come to the conclusion the market is not worth going to any longer.used to be good but has been overtaken with con merchants and shysters .the only honest decent stall is warwickshire clothing and i can go to that at millets farm just down the road.the real good plant man seems to be gone anyway.goodbye wellesbourne you wont be seeing me again

    Tacky .. this is a cheap and chav place besides that you can save up because all of these things are affordable in the shops as and when .. just to much of something or one thing I don't like personal isn't to my liking taste for designer it won't be like for like .. especially when you know what you want and what to expect people walking into you, not healthy or helpful close it down and make room for more support and education centres or homes for children who aren't looked or cared for proply that is taken for granted and gone unnoticed ...

    I was massively disappointed. If I was making a recommendation. I would not waste your fuel to make any effort to drive here. I did like the veg van. I’m sure the meat traders are great as I’m sure are the catering vans. The rest is either junk, appears to be knock-off goods or better bought with a receipt available and it’s likely to fall apart on you. The set up is very mixed up. No planning on where to put stores. So many are similar. In my view the catering vans should be set up together not dotted all over the place. Maybe have a proper quality coffee van in there. The quality of the goods seems very low. Really amazed at why people bother…. It could be great. It’s not even good. The market on whole scrapes an okay. If you’re passing or live local and can walk… might be okay. A waste of fuel otherwise. Some very pushey sellers too. Not happy with them. I wouldn’t employ them to work my shop, they just drive the customers away. They’re miserable and unhappy. They need to change to get customers. They also need better products. If I was promoting this market. You need to get better stalls in there. Better set up of like stuff. And not so many of the same stuff. Variation is what is required. Maybe put the stalls into groups of rectangles or circles. Make it more interesting to walk around. I’d also like to see more variation on street food vans. Different tastes and not just burger and chips. (As it appeared, I might need to look harder!). Get some veggie/vegan and some Caribbean flavours, some Thai food etc… encouraging people to go for the food, they might like to spend cash elsewhere. Add a quality food section of local foods. Bring the local people with money to visit. Add some stalls for charities and local trusts to showcase their offerings to the community. What I saw was in my view, poor quality good being sold as good quality. For the odd trader that does genuinely sell good quality wares… good luck to you. My post is a view of what I saw and the emotions it left me with. Maybe go to make up your own mind.

    First time there in nearly 10yrs or so. Much smaller now due to the aftermath of the pandemic. It’s still a big market and draws a massive crowd. I was disappointed with it tbh. Very similar stalls throughout the market I found it quite boring really. Good facilities there toilets and places to eat. Other than that I wouldn’t rushing back there again.

    Came to see the stricken Vulcan Bomber- the team there did an exceptional job over past 2 days to recover the aircraft. Alas one of the engines been damaged and they have had to cancel their show. Please consider donating to their museum if you still want to see a beautiful example of a Vulcan.

    First time here traveled up to check it out and was impressed remember wellies next time car park is muddy

  • 4/5 Cat P. 5 months ago on Google
    Alot smaller than it use to be but still my fav stalls there with a few new ,very muddy but a good atmosphere around the place ,always take my dog with me who gets the most attention. Plenty of food and drink stalls which are quite nice especially if it's a bit chilly .

  • 4/5 Rhona C. 1 year ago on Google
    Has plenty of stalls to walk around and browse, a few burger vans if you get hungry or want a drink. Toilets are clean, there's a meat lorry there, he seems reasonable, a few things for the kids to have a go at, I'd recommend anyone going for a morning trip out. They are only open 9-3 Saturdays and Bank hols might be different not sure

  • 5/5 Courtney C. 5 months ago on Google
    This is the best market to go to. I highly highly recommend the team that sell shoes slippers and boots, there is a lot of stalls there selling the same but this one team they have the largest set up and the main guy has wavy short hair and usually has a headband on.

  • 4/5 Sue R. 1 year ago on Google
    Massive market, family and dog friendly with loads of free parking on airfield. Plenty of food outlets, ice cream vans,wide variety of stalls. Clothing is diverse in price and quality and I bought two lovely Italian tops at a great price. Loads of clothing, shoes/trainers, sportswear, fresh meat, vegetable stall, greeting cards, pet beds/collars etc. Well worth a visit and I will go again.

    I would like to put a proposition to the person that owns the market as I believe it would be beneficial to everyone. This is a very busy market and I love going there I believe if you charge £1 for a car and £2 for vans you would be able to use the money to buy some hard-core to fill in all the potholes and make it nice and smooth to drive on . JUST A SUGGESTION

  • 3/5 Jodie S. 1 year ago on Google
    The food vans are good, lots of the regular stalls were missing on this visit. Parking is good. Toilets are okay but need soap for washing hands.

  • 3/5 Roberto B. 1 year ago on Google
    Cheap stuff but look closely at the clothing because the stitching is very suspect on track suits as I found out with holes found and not too good stitching but at £15 what can I expect really. Some bargain stuff but make sure you look at it with a fine tooth comb

  • 3/5 samantha c. 1 year ago on Google
    Was supposed to be a wet day so not many stalls were present. But was a good range of traders. Got a good deal on a bag of steaks.

  • 5/5 Ann B. 1 year ago on Google

  • 3/5 Gary W. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been there recentley , for the first time , I was told it is popular and busy . It definitely was both but I didn't see or buy anything and I personally wasn't very impressed at all . I've spoken to some friends and they said it can be like that one week and better the next so I'll go again maybe in the summer and see .

  • 3/5 Rob G. 2 years ago on Google
    It's not like how it used to be before COVID-19, it has hardly any stalls and the ones that are there are pretty much the same the while way round. The aisles are alot wider which is probably the biggest improvement to the market. Stall holders are friendly and helpful.

  • 4/5 Chris R. 1 year ago on Google
    Sometimes it's good sometimes it's not so good. You will never know what's going to be there on that day. Just go down see for yourself have fun. Buy something eat something. Butchers van is Brill. Make sure you have freezer space before you go

  • 5/5 Theresa D. 1 year ago on Google
    The quality bargains, mouthwatering smells from delicious food stalls, numerous dog walkers and overhead planes makes this a wonderful afternoon out. I always return refreshed and recharged after roaming in the fresh air.
