England’s largest town-centre livestock market

Available for over a year

Melton Market is England’s largest town-centre livestock market. This 1,000-year-old institution is a hive of activity, with farmers’ markets running on Tuesday and Friday mornings and weekly livestock sales. Tuesday has been market day since royal approval was given in 1324. BBC Leicester's Ady Dayman was shown the ropes by Chairman of Melton Market Simon Allam.
