 People from the town and surrounding district have been coming to Alnwick Markets for hundreds of years to buy and sell provisions, and exchange news with traders and acquaintances.
On our regular market days (Thursdays, Saturdays and a monthly Farmers Market) you can buy local produce, find a bargain and enjoy the genial atmosphere in the Market Place. At holiday times we bring entertainment and children’s activities to the Market Place.
It is a way of life for many local people who come each week and for visitors it can be an enjoyable part of your day out in Alnwick.
 Alnwick Markets is proud to be a partner of the Food Festival and to incorporate the monthly Farmers’ Market into the 2011 Festival programme

 The Northumberland Estates represents the business interests of the Duke of Northumberland.
The Percy family have owned Alnwick Castle and surrounding lands since 1309. In order to ensure the continued upkeep of this heritage, the business has undergone significant change in recent years.
Today the core of the business focuses on property development, management and investment. The Estate owns an international property portfolio although this centres on the North East of England where we are based. Tourism is another important contributor.
The Northumberland Estates is proud to support the Alnwick Food Festival.

 R. Turnbull & Sons is Alnwick's longest established independent family butcher and greengrocer and is one of the town's oldest businesses. The shop was founded by Roger Turnbull in 1880 and is now run by Mark Turnbull, his great-great-grandson. In the late 1970s a neighbouring drapery shop, Pitts, was acquired, allowing Turnbull's to double the size of the premises, and split between a butcher's and greengrocer's. This year, Turnbull's has generously agreed to provide all of the meat sold the Armed Services Field Kitchens at cost.
