Arnold, in the Gedling borough of Nottinghamshire, had a population of around 40,010 at the 2021 census, making it one of the largest towns in the county outside Nottingham itself.
A market since 1968, and a name from the Domesday Book
Arnold appears in the Domesday Book as 'Ernehale', a name thought to mean 'the valley of eagles'. The town's more recent identity, though, was built on hosiery — it was once home to numerous factories tied to Nottinghamshire's knitting and hosiery industry, and to Home Ales, a brewery founded in nearby Daybrook in 1875 whose building, now known as Sir John Robinson House, still stands as one of the area's more recognisable landmarks.
Arnold has had a proper market since 1968, trading on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, with an additional flea market on Wednesdays — a solid, regular fixture rather than a seasonal or one-off event.
What the market stalls don't stock
A general market built around fresh produce, clothing and household goods isn't set up to hold bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly sweets as a dedicated line — that's a different kind of stock-keeping than a stall can manage week to week.
Why Arnold shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a market-stall bag, ordering online and having it delivered is the more consistent option — no trip into Nottingham city centre required.
