Hitchin has a first-class shopping centre with a extensive range of shops and outlets that can supply almost anything you need. It is also a place where you can eat and drink yourself around the world. There are a wide range of stalls from fruit and vegetables to carpets, clothes and household goods. All this is available on Hitchin Market which is currently open on Tuesdays and Saturdays and on Fridays the popular antique market takes over the stalls.
The Hitchin weekly market originally was held on a Tuesday and the trading stalls were set up in the main high street. Some stallholders worked and lived at their stalls, others changed their existing houses into simple shops and by the end of the 14th century the main street had been completely taken over by the traders.
There was a variety of merchandise available on these markets, such as vegetables, dairy products and fruit; these were not carried any great distance to prevent them from perishing. But the livestock, grain and wool, were goods that would travel great distances without deteriorating. There were also goods that were made locally by Hitchin craftsmen such as tanners, weavers, smiths, shoemakers and tailors
