About Pontypool Markets

In 1690 Pontypool was granted permission to hold a small weekly market selling 'all manner of cattle, goods and merchandise'. Since then, markets have been at the heart of Pontypool ever since. The town proudly continues this tradition today with excellent indoor and outdoor market facilities to suit all needs including:

• A thriving Victorian Market Hall that has received over £2m of investment in the last few years
• A vibrant weekly outdoor market held every Wednesday
