A Wiltshire town council has said it is ready for thousands of visitors later this month for the year’s first edition of its independent market.
Warminster’s council has announced it is looking forward to welcoming visitors when its Independent Spring Market returns to town on Sunday, March 29, from 10am to 4pm.
A spokesperson for the council has said “exciting” new stalls and food vendors will take over the High Street, Market Place and inside the Civic Centre on Sambourne Road.
More than 160 pitches signed up and ready to sell quality clothing, jewellery, skincare, arts and crafts, homemade gifts and more.
As reported in December last year, the town’s most recent iteration of the event – the Independent Christmas Market – saw 150 stalls display across the town centre, with this spring’s edition offering visitors more than ten extra stalls as the seasonal event entrenches itself as one of the county’s destination markets.
Warminster Town Council and the Warminster Business Network are once again working together on the festival.
They have said that roads will be closed with stalls spread across the town centre to encourage visitors to explore what the town has to offer. The spokesperson went on to confirm that the popular event is now fully booked for stallholders.
They added that the independent markets continue to grow in popularity, promoting Warminster as a destination to visit as well as supporting our fantastic local businesses and a brilliant selection of stallholders.
The Mayor of Warminster, Cllr Andrew Cooper, said: "The Warminster Independent Spring Market is set to be another brilliant day for the whole of the town with thousands expected at our first quarterly market of 2026.”
