Hempsted Meadow, Gloucester

A purpose-built market site operated under a 15-year lease awarded by Gloucester City Council following a competitive tender.

Sunday and Wednesday trading gives the property a regular use. Capital manages the sale, promotion, arrivals, marshalling, public facilities and clearance, with an operating plan covering site care, maintenance and planning conditions.

How we manage your site

On site management

We agree operating days, access and the use of space around the property. We manage promotion, staffing, security and public facilities, with a site manager from opening to closing and a direct contact for the landowner.

Traffic & arrivals

We plan arrivals with neighbouring properties in mind. Marshals manage parking and vehicle movements, while staggered entry and tiered pricing spread arrivals through the morning.

Trading rules & clearance

We enforce clear trading rules, including no power tools or illegal items. Our team handles waste, litter and clearance so the property is ready for its normal use.

Working with your plans for the property

A regular sale can make productive use of available land while wider plans progress, or operate on agreed days alongside a property’s main activities.

Local people gain somewhere to sell unwanted belongings, buy affordable second-hand goods and raise money for charity. Landowners gain a managed event with commercial and community value.

We agree terms around your plans, the property’s requirements and the continuity needed to establish a successful sale.
