Colchester High Street ★★★★☆ 4.5 Mon–Sat 8am–4pm Free parking in town centre after 1pm
Colchester Market runs six days a week and always has 10–20 clothing stalls – kids’ bundles, workwear, vintage rails, and a few African fabric traders. Good for basics and the odd gem.
The market is right in the historic centre with the castle and Roman walls a 5-min walk away.
Pros
- Open 6 days a week
