The Market Hall is open for business 5 days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday) 9am - 5pm

There's a real sense of community at the market and it's a great place to catch up with friends and you can enjoy a well deserved cuppa and a bite to eat at the Market Cafe too.

Ulverston's Market Charter was granted in 1280 by Edward 1 and was originally for a Thursday market.
