About this venue

Why Gloucester Quays?

An undercover venue in the heart of Gloucester's waterfront — one of the South West's most popular destinations for a Sunday morning out.

A proper venue. Not a car park.

Gloucester Quays sits on the revitalised Victorian docks, surrounded by outlet shopping, restaurants, and waterfront walks. WhipZone takes place in an undercover, professionally marshalled venue on site - so whether it's rain or shine, your Sunday morning is sorted. Sellers park up inside, buyers walk through at their own pace, and the whole event runs with WhipZone marshals on hand throughout.

Easy to find, easy to park

The venue is right off the A430, minutes from the M5 junction 12, making it easy to reach from Cheltenham, Stroud, Ross-on-Wye, the Forest of Dean, and across Gloucestershire. There's free parking on site for both sellers and buyers. If you're coming from further afield - Bristol, Swindon, or the Midlands — the motorway access couldn't be simpler.

More than a car market

Gloucester Quays is already a Sunday destination. Combine your WhipZone visit with a browse of the outlet stores, a coffee at the waterfront, or a walk along the canal. Bring the family - under 16s attend free and there's plenty to do nearby while you're sorting your next set of wheels.
