Preston Market

Preston Market

To celebrate the success of Preston-born Nick Park, and the iconic duo he created, a bronze Wallace and Gromit Sculpture featuring the famous characters can be found standing pride of place outside the entrance to Market Hall.

Located under the impressive 1875 Victorian market canopy, the modern timber-clad glass walled building provides a bright and airy space with a great mix of stalls selling a wide choice of quality, fresh, local produce such as meats, fish, dairy, fruit and veg. There are also a number of independent shops providing an eclectic range of items, alongside inviting bars and cafés offering a host of appetising hot food options to eat in or take away. 

Combine this fresh new layout with the long history and traditions of Preston Markets, plus a friendly northern atmosphere, and you're left with a truly unique shopping experience which delivers a fresh take on your typical market set up. 

The Outdoor Market has an eclectic mix of friendly independent traders.

If it's a gift you need, flowers and perfumes are close at hand. if it's for a new baby or young relative, books, toys and baby wear stalls have it all covered. You can even pick up a greetings card to go with them. Or, maybe you have a few errands to run. Why not stop by to pick up some batteries and home furnishings or explore the beds, rugs and white goods stalls. If that's not enough, discover a hidden gem on the antiques stall or a classic vinyl on the record stall.
