Fees
Market Rights fees are payable:
- following confirmation of a successful Market Rights Licence Application

Fees are subject to annual review in line with Manchester Markets’ review of fees and charges.
Each Market Rights Licence for car boot sales and all other markets is subject to an administration fee and a licence fee:
- The administration fee for each Market Rights Licence is £60.
- An additional administration fee of £60 will also apply to each Market Rights Licence where the application is received less than 21 days in advance of the proposed market. Where this applies, the total administration fee will be £120.
- Licence fees depend upon the type of market and the number of trading positions (calculated by multiplying the number of trading spaces and trading days.) For Car Boot Sales the licence fee is £1.80 per trading position. The licence fee for All Other Markets is £5.25 per trading position for up to 200 trading positions, and then £4.40 for each trading position above 200.
