A market trading since 1235, under a clock tower since 1887
Rugby has held a market since 1235, and it still trades in the Market Place on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays — nearly 800 years of continuous history, even if the stalls themselves have changed many times over. The market now trades beneath the Jubilee Clock Tower, built in 1887 to mark Queen Victoria's golden jubilee.
The town's other historic market — a cattle market near the railway station, one of the last links to Rugby's farming past — closed in late 2008; the site has since been redeveloped into homes, a hotel and a Tesco store.
What nearly 800 years of market history doesn't cover
A street market, however old, is built around stalls sold by the bag or the box — not 3kg bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges, or halal-friendly selections put together for a business order.
Why Rugby shoppers order online anyway
For anything beyond a market-stall bag, ordering online and having it delivered direct to a Rugby address is the more consistent option, market day or not.
