Sudbury's first known mention as a Market Town was in the Doomsday Book of 1086, however a Royal Charter reveals there was a market in Sudbury as far back as 1009. To read the complete history of Sudbury Market click here.

This vibrant, traditional, outdoor market is still a central part of Sudbury life today. Held every Thursday and Saturday on Market Hill in the centre of town, no visit to Sudbury is complete without soaking up the true character of the town with a mooch around Sudbury Market.
