Wellesbourne Airfield Market — Attraction in Stratford-on-Avon

I was massively disappointed. If I was making a recommendation. I would not waste your fuel to make any effort to drive here. I did like the veg van. I’m sure the meat traders are great as I’m sure are the catering vans. The rest is either junk, appears to be knock-off goods or better bought with a receipt available and it’s likely to fall apart on you.

The set up is very mixed up. No planning on where to put stores. So many are similar. In my view the catering vans should be set up together not dotted all over the place. Maybe have a proper quality coffee van in there.

The quality of the goods seems very low.

Really amazed at why people bother…. It could be great. It’s not even good. The market on whole scrapes an okay. If you’re passing or live local and can walk… might be okay. A waste of fuel otherwise.

Some very pushey sellers too. Not happy with them. I wouldn’t employ them to work my shop, they just drive the customers away. They’re miserable and unhappy. They need to change to get customers. They also need better products.

If I was promoting this market. You need to get better stalls in there. Better set up of like stuff. And not so many of the same stuff. Variation is what is required. Maybe put the stalls into groups of rectangles or circles. Make it more interesting to walk around. I’d also like to see more variation on street food vans. Different tastes and not just burger and chips. (As it appeared, I might need to look harder!). Get some veggie/vegan and some Caribbean flavours, some Thai food etc… encouraging people to go for the food, they might like to spend cash elsewhere. Add a quality food section of local foods. Bring the local people with money to visit. Add some stalls for charities and local trusts to showcase their offerings to the community.

What I saw was in my view, poor quality good being sold as good quality.

For the odd trader that does genuinely sell good quality wares… good luck to you.

My post is a view of what I saw and the emotions it left me with. Maybe go to make up...

Well organised good parking quite busy good range of market stalls mainly designer name mens clothes and trainers. Good dog stuff leads, beds etc, Reasonable supermarket type stuff but if buying food look at dates some are well out of date!! There's card stalls kids toys, meat (butcher) stalls, burger vans We bought tracksuits, trainers ,a coat and sliders that were good quality and very good prices but also bought mystery bags that were a waste of money very useless items Inside - a child's school shirt, some sort of switch for a car door, a tutu for a baby all very bad quality don't buy them!! We bought fruit and veg from stall near the entrance all very good quality I have been going to wellsbourne for years and his produce is always top quality. Wear something very warm if visiting our of summer months it is on an airfield and can be really really cold even if it's not cold where you are t's on concrete though not on grass. I like Wellsbourne market and would recommend although we don't have any other markets down south now to compare to I do find it a good all round market that is huge takes about 2 hours sometimes to walk round good day out. It doesn't have many stalls for women well that I like anyway but definately...

Amazing day to visit this Market for the first time. Has been here for decades and is one of the biggest markets in the UK boasting over 500 stalls. My feet feel it too. Pretty much everything you expect from a market but in large doses. If you want copies of your favourite trainers for a fraction of the price, or the latest designer fashion and perfume, it’s all here. I counted at least 20 different food stalls selling everything from Samosas to Kangaroo burgers, ice cream to doughnuts, you’ll be spoilt for choice. It has a large toilet block but I would suggest taking your own toilet roll and wet wipes for cleaning the moulded toilet basin or the tables that you eat at. It’s mainly a cash only market, only a few stalls take card. It’s easy to spend here and I didn’t see any cash machines on site. Massive car park, including an area for blue badge holders. Open 9am to 4pm Saturdays and bank holiday Mondays. I found out that the bank holiday Monday ones are much bigger with traders coming up from London. Will definitely be returning. Only a short way from Stratford on Avon if you want to make a...
