Scarborough Market Hall & Vaults

Scarborough Market Hall & Vaults is a historic and vibrant marketplace located in the heart of Scarborough, North Yorkshire.

Originally built in the 19th century, the Market Hall has long served as a central hub for local trade and community life. Its striking Victorian architecture, gives the space a bright and welcoming atmosphere. Beneath the main hall lies the Vaults—an atmospheric network of underground units that once stored goods for traders.

Today, these spaces have been transformed into unique retail outlets and event venues, offering a blend of heritage and modern enterprise. Visitors can explore independent shops, artisan stalls, and pop-up exhibitions, all set within the characterful surroundings of the Vaults.

Following a major refurbishment, the Market Hall now combines its historic charm with modern facilities. It hosts a wide range of traders selling fresh produce, handmade crafts, antiques, and more.

The venue also plays a key role in Scarborough’s cultural calendar, regularly hosting themed markets, food festivals, and live music nights. If you’re a trader interested in joining this thriving community, there are units currently available. For more information, please email parkandgroundcommercial@northyorks.gov.uk. Whether you’re a local resident or a visitor to the coast, Scarborough Market Hall & Vaults offers a warm welcome and a unique shopping experience rooted in the town’s rich history.
