Nestled under Shrewsbury’s iconic clocktower is a treasure trove waiting to be explored: the town’s award-winning indoor market. This bustling hub is a delightful mix of cosmopolitan cafés, artisan producers, and vintage sellers. It’s a place where quality gift boutiques and skilled artists thrive alongside traditional fresh fruit and veg stalls. Imagine family butchers who have been trading for up to 100 years, adding a touch of history to the vibrant scene.
For food lovers, it's a paradise: indulge in authentic Beijing dumplings at a quaint Chinese tea house, sip champagne while savoring oysters at a continental-style seafood bar, or spice things up with Spanish tapas and sizzling Thai street food. The diversity of flavors here is nothing short of a culinary adventure.
The market is a haven for creative souls. Watch in awe as weavers, jewelry makers, and artists bring their creations to life. The resident art gallery showcases a variety of artwork, making it a must-visit for art enthusiasts. If you're a fan of all things retro, the vintage trail will be your playground with its array of clothing, collectables, antiques, books, and vinyl records. And when you think you've seen it all, treat yourself to chocolates crafted by a national award-winning chocolatier, pick up a new bicycle, or even get a quick makeover at Risdon’s barbershop. Heading to the market? Keep in mind that the main trading days are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, though some stalls open up on Thursday as well. Shrewsbury Market Hall is truly a place where history meets the present, offering something memorable for everyone.
