A Guide to Applying for a Market Stall Licence

Market trading is strictly regulated in the UK in order to protect consumers, legitimate traders and the reputation of both private and local authority-run markets.

Anyone intending to run a market stall in a local authority-run market must obtain a licence from their local authority, and comply with any conditions attached to the licence. These typically cover the size and location of stalls, the types of goods traders are permitted to sell, trading hours and vehicular access.

This factsheet explains how to obtain a licence to operate a market stall in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
