About the Market Hall:

The Market Hall is a two-tier, indoor market hall situated in the heart of Shrewsbury Town Centre.

 

It is jointly run by managing agent Jones Lang LaSalle, which is responsible for the permanent stalls located around the perimeter of the market floor and gallery, and Shrewsbury Town Council which manages the canopied stalls in the centre.

 

The Market Hall is situated above a range of well known high street and independent retailers. Busy trading streets, Shoplatch and Claremont Street, run either side of the building.

 

It opened in 1965 and is today home to many traders offering a selection of fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fresh fish, delicatessen, a selection of eateries, books, china, antiques, collectables and contemporary arts and crafts and much more.
And three exciting places to eat. Y.
