Par Market: Opening Times, Food Hall & All 92 Traders

Trader list checked 10 October 2026 · 6 min read

Par Market is one of the biggest indoor markets in the UK: around 100 stalls under one roof, a busy food hall and free parking, just outside St Austell and a few minutes from the Eden Project. It's a Whasson favourite for a rainy day, and it's on Leo's doorstep.

What is Par Market?

It started in the mid-1970s as a small outdoor Sunday market, moved indoors in 1991 and has grown into a huge covered market at Stadium Retail Park, between St Austell and Par. Inside you'll find everything from phone repairs, key cutting and a barber to vinyl records, antiques, Pokémon cards, crystals, pick'n'mix and fishing tackle. The Food Hall has street food from Nepal, Sri Lanka, Korea and Mexico alongside proper fish and chips, pizza, pasties and a Sunday-style carvery.
