Cirencester, known as the Capital of the Cotswolds, is a lovely market town with a fascinating history where you will receive a warm welcome. In Roman times, Cirencester, known as ‘Corinium Dobunnorum’, was the second largest town only to London.  During the 6th century fortunes changed, the Saxons destroyed the town and it was renamed ‘Coryn Ceasre’.  It became a very prosperous wool town in the medieval period, which is the basis for the charming town with ancient honey coloured stone buildings in picturesque narrow streets that you can visit today. Set in the heart of the Cotswolds, Cirencester is a great town to visit and makes a delightful base for visitors wishing to explore the area. Its easy access to major road networks and mainline railway belies its charming and peaceful character.

Shopping
The Market Place is the heart of the town and is home to a Charter Market (every Monday and Friday) and a Farmers’ Market (every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month). Cirencester’s Corn Hall also boasts a regular programme of markets which include a Home Fashion and Garden Bazaar (from Monday to Thursday), an Antiques and Collectables market (on Fridays) and the Original Craftsman's Market (1st and 3rd Saturdays) and the Cotswold Craft Market (2nd and 4th Saturdays).

The wonderful variety of quality independent shops makes shopping in Cirencester a delight.  Enjoy exploring the courtyards with their individual style, and the many historic streets radiating from the town centre.  Cirencester is renowned for its very special shops, individual boutiques, fascinating antique emporiums and craft shops as well as national chain stores. 
If you want to take advantage of peaceful and pleasant surroundings as you shop, then venture off the main streets and make a point of visiting the Swan Yard, before meandering through to the Old Post Office development.  Other hidden gems include The Woolmarket, situated off Dyer Street, and the Stable Yard, which is off Blackjack Street, packed with the fantastic independent shops and cafes Cirencester is famous for.
