Tips & Advice
- No ticket is needed, so just turn up on either day and wind your way through the hotel to browse the stalls.
- Book a table at the 1772 Brasserie if you'd like to stay for lunch or dinner after browsing the market.
- If you come by train, use Kintbury or Hungerford station and book a taxi in advance, because both stations are unstaffed.
- Electric car drivers can use the six EV charging bays at the hotel but must bring their own charging cable.
