Markets
Chorley's popular markets date back to 1498 with the most popular market day being a Tuesday. If you're visiting Chorley today you will find two main markets; Chorley covered market, which makes up the heart of the town and operates four days a week and Chorley's Tuesday market, which is located outdoors along the streets of Chorley town centre.
