In 1639 George Hall obtained from
Charles I Letters Patent under the Privy Seal to hold a free market at Easingwold every Friday.

In 1922 the Easingwold Branch of the British Legion purchased the market rights and conveyed them to the Parish Council.

The market is still held every Friday and is one of the most successful in the area. The rent is £10.50 per stall. If you are interested in renting a stall please contact the Clerk.
