Melton Mowbray Livestock Market, Operated at Scalford Road, Melton Mowbray

Market Overview

With a remarkable history spanning over 1,000 years, Melton Mowbray Market is the largest town centre livestock market in the UK. First chartered by King Edward II in 1324 and relocated to its current site in 1869, the market continues to be a central part of the town’s heritage and economy.

Following a significant redevelopment of the livestock facilities in 2017, the site continues to evolve with the Stockyard – a vibrant, multi-purpose space hosting general, farmers’, and antiques markets alongside food and retail businesses. Melton’s unique blend of history, modernisation, and community activity ensures consistent, high-quality footfall from both farmers and the general public.
