Message from Shrewsbury Town Council.
Market Hall shoppers can currently cast their votes to help the venue secure the title of Britain’s Favourite Market.
Online voting in the national competition has now opened and will run throughout December.
The search for Britain’s Favourite Market is part of the annual national Market of the Year awards run by the National Association of British Market Authorities (NABMA).
While other categories, including Best Indoor Market and Best Outdoor Market, are selected by a judging panel, Britain’s favourite Market is decided solely by public vote.
Supporters of Shrewsbury Market Hall, which opened in the town centre in 1965 and is jointly run by Shrewsbury Town Council and managing agent Jones Lang LaSalle, can register their votes online at www.nabma.com/market-of-the-year/.
Located between Shoplatch and Claremont Street, the two-tiered market now boasts over 70 stalls including cafes, restaurants, butchers, grocers, artisan food producers, home accessory and gift boutiques, a barber and even a resident psychotherapist.
It is also home to Shrewsbury’s last remaining independent bookshop, Shropshire’s only retail adult board game specialist, an art gallery and the Midlands’ only supplier of traditional Dutch bicycles. In 2011 it won the Best Council-run Market category in the NABMA awards.
