St Albans Antique and Vintage Market

The St Albans Antique and Vintage Market returns to St Albans Market on Sunday 6 December, the final date of its 2026 outdoor run. It's the city's independent antiques and vintage market, and it brings jewellery, collectables, clothing and pieces for the home right into the city centre. Around 80 dealers run the stalls, and it's pitched as a Sunday browse where an unexpected find is half the appeal, with a relaxed atmosphere to match. The market is held outdoors in central St Albans, so if the weather looks doubtful, it's worth checking the organiser's website before you set off.

It runs as part of St Albans Market, the city-centre street market that also trades on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, alongside themed Sundays and specialist market dates. This particular one is the last of the 2026 outdoor dates, which have run throughout the year: 18 January, 15 February, 19 April, 21 June, 19 July, 16 August, 20 September, 18 October and now 6 December. There was no market in May or November, and the 15 March date was cancelled, so this is the final chance to get out there this year.

You'll find it at St Albans Market, across St Peter's Street and Market Place, AL1 3ED. It runs from 9am to 3pm, and there's no entry fee, so you can just drift in and spend as much or as little time as you like. With the stalls spread across the street, it's easy to spend a good while just wandering through.
