Set reminder on Facebook

Watford Market will be opening its doors after hours once again this year to welcome town centre visitors to their FREE-entry ‘Market Lates’ evenings, following the success of the events organised by Watford Borough Council and Saunders Markets.

Set to a soundtrack of live music, the ‘Market Lates’ events will take place from 6pm to 10pm on the following Fridays: 3 May, 2 August and 1 November. They will include craft beer, a local bar and delicious street food from around the globe, to help bring the Market to life, by night.

Making the most of its outdoor space and offering a feast for the eyes, ears and the belly, the market’s popular food stalls will be rustling up delicacies to delight your taste buds, including Caribbean, Asian and Korean street food. Visitors will also be able to enjoy the ambience of market dining and be treated to a menu of fresh dishes plus drinks in the covered casual dining space.

Elected Mayor of Watford, Peter Taylor, said: “The feedback from the events since launching ‘Market Lates’ in 2021 has been really positive, so I’m happy we can continue to host these in 2024. They are a great opportunity for visitors to discover some of the market’s popular traders, whilst enjoying a night out with friends and family. It was wonderful to see people of all ages enjoying these events last year and I’m really looking forward to their return.”

Market Manager, Calvin Poon said “Market Lates are a Friday night out with a difference, and the event strives to support the local economy by promoting local businesses and celebrating home grown artistic talent with the entertainment on offer. They also give visitors the opportunity to socialise in a different and more relaxed market environment.”
