Ormskirk Market - one of the country's oldest and most
traditional street markets - gives the town an extra buzz each
Thursday and Saturday. Dating back to 1286 when the monks at nearby
Burscough Priory were granted a Royal Charter by Edward 1 to hold a
weekly outdoor market, it is still a focal point for locals and
visitors alike.
With around 100 stalls, set in the pedestrianised area in the
heart of the town around the famous Clock Tower, the market
attracts hundreds of bargain hunters each market day.
Whatever you're looking for, you'll find it on the market whether
its pullovers to pottery or food to furniture.
Opening hours
The market is open for business each Thursday and Saturday from
8.00am-4.30pm during March to October and 8.00am-4.00pm November to
February.

There is 1 free and 10 pay and display car
parks in the town centre. Visit
