Northampton Market Square
United Kingdom · built 1235
Market Square is a historic market square in the centre of Northampton, England. In use as a marketplace since 1235, it is one of the oldest and largest market squares in Britain. The square underwent a £12.4 million refurbishment between 2023 and 2024, during which archaeologists recorded extensive medieval remains beneath its surface. Since reopening, the square has served as the town's principal outdoor events venue, hosting the annual Northampton Pride festival, the town's Diwali Festival of Lights, and Christmas celebrations, alongside a regular retail market.
