Modernising our beloved chartered historic market
The historic Boston UK Market is thrilled to announce a series of exciting modernisations and new initiatives to enhance the market experience for traders and visitors. These changes mark a significant step forward in the market's long-standing tradition of serving the community.
To modernise and rejuvenate the market, Boston Borough Council are introducing brand-new Boston Market UK branded gazebos, replacing the old stalls. These vibrant gazebos, along with new branding and bunting, will give the market a fresh and inviting look, making it a more enjoyable place to shop and explore.
To support our traders and engage with the community, the market will launch a weekly promotion scheme on its social media accounts. Each week, a different trader will be featured, providing them with valuable exposure and helping to attract more customers to their stalls.
Boston Borough Council are pleased to announce that the rent for a pitch at the market is now more affordable, with new incentives available for traders. This initiative aims to encourage more traders to join the market and create a diverse and vibrant trading environment.
Boston Market UK are excited to host three upcoming Teenage Markets on 24 May, 2 August and 16 August 2025. These events will provide young traders with a platform to showcase their products, contributing to the market's dynamic atmosphere.
Starting this month, a new Markers and Farmers Market will be held in the Market Place within the town centre. This market will take place on the last Saturday of every month until October 2025, from 9am to 2pm. It will feature a variety of local produce and handmade goods, offering visitors a unique shopping experience.
David Smith, Markets manager for Boston Borough Council, said: 'Boston Market is now somewhere you can find a variety of quality goods whilst enjoying a friendly chat with our traders.
"Some of our traders have been on our market for over 20 years. Without them, and their continued support, Boston Market wouldn't be the same, so I encourage the local community and visitors to come to Boston Market to shop local and be part of our new journey.
"Whilst remaining as one of Lincolnshire's largest outdoor markets, we have also now reduced our market fees which I'm confident will result in more traders joining the market, meaning a better shopping experience for the customer.
"For any trader enquiries, please contact us at Markets@Boston.gov.uk."
