OUR TOP TIPS

 

Wear comfortable shoes — it’s a large, open air site

• With over 300 traders spread across a wide airfield layout, expect a lot of walking on uneven ground. Comfortable footwear makes a big difference.

 

Check the weather and dress for an exposed airfield

• North Weald is a working airfield, meaning the market is open to the elements. Wind, sun, and rain feel stronger here.

 

Start at the far end and work backwards

• Most visitors browse the first rows and slow down early, meaning the best bargains and quieter stalls are often deeper into the market. Starting at the far end gives you a calmer, more rewarding browse.
