Tring’s Market Place dates back to the 13th century when the town was granted a charter by King Edward II permitting townspeople to hold a market. For many years livestock were auctioned, and in 2005 Tring Town Council updated the site, making it suitable for contemporary market trading.
Today we have a weekly Friday Charter Market managed by Paul Hopwood of Tring Market Traders (tel: 07921 820699) and a fortnightly Farmers Market www.tringfarmersmarket.co.uk
In 2011 many years of hard work by volunteers from the Tring and District Local History and Museum Society came to fruition when the award-winning local history museum was officially opened by Lord Rothschild. The museum is housed in the converted cattle market office building and is a wonderful place to visit.
The market place can be hired when markets are not occupying the site.
