GO! Southampton is proud to support the return of the monthly Carlton Place Market, taking place on the third Sunday of every month from 11am to 4pm.

The market will bring together a wide range of local traders, offering everything from vintage clothing and vinyl records to artisan food, drink and handmade crafts. As part of its ongoing work to enhance the city centre and support independent businesses, GO! Southampton is proud to sponsor the new market and help bring more visitors to the area.

Date: Sunday 21 June 2026 (recurring on the third Sunday of every month)

Location: Carlton Place, Southampton SO15 2DX

Want to get involved?

As part of GO! Southampton’s sponsorship, we have been allocated two complimentary stall spaces at each market. Spaces will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis so if you are interested, please let us know. To help ensure the opportunity remains fair to all businesses, stalls cannot be booked for consecutive market dates and must not compete with other businesses in the area.

GO! Southampton may also use one of the allocated spaces to host a visitor information stand. This stand will feature relevant BID member leaflets alongside wider visitor information for the city centre. If you are a visitor-facing business and would like to provide us with printed materials, please contact marketing@gosouthampton.co.uk.
