Shepton Mallet Flea Market is a long-running indoor and outdoor market held at the Royal Bath & West Showground, Shepton Mallet, Somerset (BA4 6QN). Running on selected dates through the year, it has been a fixture in the heart of Somerset since the 1950s and draws both locals and visitors hunting for a bargain.

Gates open to buyers from 9:30 AM and the market runs until 4:00 PM, with sellers arriving from 7:00 AM to set up. Entry costs £6 per adult (accompanied children free), while stalls start from £45 (outside pitches £50 per car, pay at the gate).
