  • Alcester Street Market 2026 Draws Crowds to the High Street

    Alcester Street Market 2026 Draws Crowds to the High Street

    Alcester’s annual Court Leet Street Market returned to the High Street on Sunday, bringing together traders, entertainers and visitors from across Warwickshire. The event, organised by the Alcester Court Leet, is one of the town’s best-loved traditions and features market stalls, live music, competitions and family entertainment throughout the afternoon. The market officially runs from 1pm until 5pm and forms part of Alcester’s busy programme of community events.

    One of the busiest spots during this year’s event was outside the Turks Head pub, where local band The Texan Peacocks attracted large crowds with a live performance. From the air, the scale of the gathering was easy to appreciate, with visitors filling the High Street and surrounding historic streets.

    The drone photographs below show the market from a unique perspective, capturing St Nicholas Church, Alcester’s historic town centre and the rolling Warwickshire countryside that surrounds the town.

Judging by the crowds filling the High Street and gathering outside the Turks Head, this year’s event was another successful day for the town.
