Wembley market is dead, long live Wembley market.
Wembley Sunday market will be making a comeback this October and on every Sunday excluding event days, just like it use to be.
Details of the comeback include a new location based along Olympic Way, it will be equipped with 250 stalls and also operated by Quintain.
Earlier this year, it was announced that a new market operator were to take over but that plan eventually had fallen through.
The original Wembley market was the biggest Sunday market in the UK with up to 500 stalls and had operated for over 40 years. Quintain have certainly changed their tune after evicting the market almost a year ago. This must feel like a kick in the teeth for Wendyfairs the original operator, to have Quintain raid their tomb and resurrect the Sunday market.
It’s not only Wendyfairs who won’t be coming back to Wembley, Quintain and Brent Council also want to stamp out any tax dodging, illegal counterfeit traders.
Traders who wish to sign up to the Wembley Park Sunday Market have to be ‘Read Deal’ assessed, which is a partnership between local authorities, market operators, traders, industry groups and copyright / trade mark owners.
After the market was gutted from the heart of Wembley, the area hasn’t really felt the same due to the absence of such an important fabric of local life.
Since Wembley Market closed a year ago, Blog on the Block has received 100 comments from displaced market goers. In comparison to the local news sites Kilburn Times, which only received around 14 comments on the same story. Local news network, Get-West London, who are owned by the Trinity Mirror group also played catch-up and started covering Wembley market (always remember where it started first).
We are pleased that the displaced market goers chose Blog on the Block to discuss the legacy of Wembley market and leave behind memories or vent frustrations in the comments.

SOlo EXCITED IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING IS IT SAYING IT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR PARK WHERE IT USED TO BE?. WAS SO GUTTED WHEN IR SHUT CANT WAIT TO GO
Oh was excited But having been it was one of the biggest disappointing things ever @ having anticipated it greatly
Having travelled from Suffolk as we did often to the old market
Could count stalls on my fingers none of my favourites and completely rubbish
Long way to travel to buy a lipstick !!!!
Wembley market is dead
RIP Wembley market and Wendy Fairs
OMG yesssssssssssss! It’s only right – they had to bring it back! Who made that left move to remove it in the first place??? They have no sense!
Wembley market is the heart of Wembley and is an iconic landmark of the town. Money hungry people so quick to make a little cash without thinking about the people and the reaction from their actions! Tut tut of course they had to make it right!
I’m so happy it’s back i just hope there changes are not too drastic for market stall operators and that it can go back to how it’s always been. Keep the historic movement going!!
Well said Shanta I’m from London now living in Suffolk but was regularly traveling to Wembley have missed it soooo much like you I hope the changes are not to drastic
As a trader for over 20 years at Wembley I am delighted to see the return of an iconic local market. SWEET DREAMS could be back!!
I bet it will be packed as it has been missed.
I Love the original Wembley market location, was never going to go to the moved one, I am soooooo glad its back!! will be back very soon
