Visit the warm covered market , open six days a week. Hatch is hosted within the historic Borough Market, recorded by charter in 1268 and one of the oldest such markets in the country. The current structure was rebuilt, completed by 1897. The market has been the source of trade in Gravesend for centuries, with the first town hall, built next to it in 1573, largely funded by market trade licences and charges levied on non-Gravesend Borough traders who wished to sell here. Following refurbishment in 2024, Hatch now hosts a range of street food stands, bierkeller, cocktail bar, augmented-reality darts, shuffleboard and much more, with regular events and festivals.
