Devizes is an historic market town where street and cattle markets have been held for hundreds of years. 
It boasts one of the largest Market Places in the West Country and has the somewhat unique feature in that you cannot see a direct exit from where ever you stand.
The cattle marked closed several years ago; however, there are still regular street markets held every week in the Market Place. 
Our regular market is held on Thursday of each week.
 
There used to be a market of some sort nearly every day, indeed Monday Market Street or more correctly Monday's Market Street reflects this. There is still evidence of rings outside some of the older buildings where cattle were tethered.
 
Read the inscription on the Ruth Pierce Monument (the Market Cross) in the middle of the Market Place and be warned!

From time to time other featured markets are held.
 
French Markets are regular regular visitors

 

And from time to time we host Farmers' Markets

And with plenty of pedestrian areas, all available space is used such as this flower stall in the Brittox
