St John's Market is North Lincolnshire's largest indoor market, located in the heart of Scunthorpe. Opened in March 2019, it blends traditional market charm with modern amenities across two spacious floors.
The ground floor hosts a wide range of stalls selling fresh produce, handmade gifts, clothing, beauty products, and household essentials. Upstairs, the vibrant Food Court features global cuisines including Indian, Greek, Jamaican, and classic British fare, with dine-in and takeaway options available.
Facilities include free public Wi-Fi, communal seating, public toilets, and a dedicated play area for children called the Mini Market. Shop Mobility services are available for visitors with mobility needs, and the market is fully accessible throughout.
Seasonal events, table-top sales, and community fairs are regularly held, supporting local traders and creating a lively atmosphere. The market is directly connected to The Parishes multi-storey car park via a sky bridge, offering convenient access and free parking on weekends.
St John's Market continues the legacy of Scunthorpe Market, which dates back to 1890, and remains a cornerstone of the town's retail and cultural life.
