Market Licence policy

1. Introduction

1. 1.1. Great Yarmouth Market is an important part of Great Yarmouth's Town Centre and a key priority for the Borough Council. It is an historical market which can be dated back to at least 1208 when it was granted a Royal Charter by King John.
2. 1.2. The Market Place is 6,765 square meters in area and provides a six day covered market with 27 stalls,  a two day market which operates on Wednesdays and Saturdays and some kiosks near the toilet block. Extra markets are also held throughout the year, often to support specialist events.
3. 1.3. This policy governs the use of stalls in the Market by all traders and provides detailed procedures to support the lease/licence agreements which are held by each trader. It also outlines the way the Borough Council will work to manage the market and provides a framework for this management.
