As towns across the UK seek ways to revitalize their high streets, Newport Indoor Market is proud to participate in the Love Your Local Market Campaign.
This national initiative, running from May 17th to June 1st, 2024, celebrates the vital role markets play in our communities.
Organized by the National Association of British Market Authorities (NABMA), the Love Your Local Market campaign has grown into a global phenomenon. Now in its 13th year, it's embraced by 24 countries worldwide!
Our historic Newport Indoor Market is thrilled to be part of this movement, showcasing the unique energy and variety that defines Shropshire's market scene.
The campaign estimates that over 15,000 individuals have been introduced to market trading through this initiative, leading to the creation of at least 1,500 new businesses.
This year's theme, "Celebrating Local Markets," perfectly aligns with the vision of NABMA and the World Union of Wholesale Markets (WUWM). Markets across the UK are gearing up for exciting events, special offers, and engaging initiatives.
