Haringey Markets Strategy

Why a Markets Strategy for Haringey? 

As a council, we aspire for more markets to be held across Haringey. It is not however a 'Market Borough', which means it has no Charter Rights for Markets.

The current landscape for markets within Haringey consists mainly of privately-operated markets on private sites.

These include:

  • Holcombe Market in Bruce Grove
  • The Market Hall in Wood Green
  • Alexandra Palace Farmers Market
  • Stroud Green Market
  • regular markets on the public highway licensed by us (including Myddleton Road Market, Muswell Creatives Market and Tottenham Green Market)  

We are aware that markets can act as an attractive feature of the overall offer experienced in the borough.

They can:

  • bring higher footfall into a town
  • bring people in who have never been before, or who have not been for some time
  • add to the character and diversity of a town centre's offer as well as to its look and feel
  • offer opportunities for new businesses and entrepreneurs
  • facilitate access to affordable healthy food

To facilitate this, a Markets Strategy for Haringey was developed. See a summary of the main actions.

Main actions

  1. Work with market operators to improve the existing and future markets provision.
  2. Make it easier to create, launch and operate markets in Haringey.
  3. Create the right systems, operating / financial models and objectives, and infrastructure to deliver an improved markets offer.
  4. Promote the future markets provisions to consumers, traders and operators.

An Action Plan has been developed to deliver on the main actions. Updates will be posted on this webpage as they become available.
