Wells Market

Wells market reopened on 10th June, after a complete review of layouts, traders and facilities was carried out, to meet the latest Government guidelines. Due to the current pandemic the markets will be closing earlier than normal.  The market will open at 9.00 a.m. and finish at 2.00 p.m., to allow cleaning to take place. To help support Mendip's market traders and customers during Covid-19 restrictions, some of our regular traders are also able to offer an online service:
