The Covered Market

Date of visit: July 2022

I have experience of challenges around: moving around

Overall Rating

An attractive, charming, historic, indoor market with very good access. There are more than 50 permanent stalls and shops. The stores sell a good selection of items including food, gifts, clothing, flowers, cafes. The market is usually open daily.

Disabled Access In and Around

The market has a few entrances, the ones I used were step free and all the doors were kept open. It's located mainly on the ground floor level, although I think a few of the cafes and shops have upper floors. Stalls tend to be at standing height and some shops may have an entrance step. I just walked through the market rather than shopping so can't comment on individual stores.

Parking & Transport

The market is about a 15 minute walk from Oxford Railway Station. There is an entrance to the market on the High Street from where several bus routes run.

Accessible Toilets

I didn't see it but there is meant to be an accessible toilet just outside the covered market on Market Street.

Staff

I didn't have any interaction with the staff.

Additional Information

No one expect me was wearing a mask when I visited. The market is very cute. It was decorated with illuminated Alice in Wonderland characters on its ceiling and I spotted the Queen wearing a garland of flowers in one of the shops. The store holders really help to make this an inviting and charming place to visit. It is well worth popping in even if you don't plan to do any shopping as there are lots of things to catch your eye. I always visit when I am in Oxford.
