Welcome to Oswestry Markets
Located in one of the UK's oldest border settlements, there is a longstanding history of markets within our beautiful market town with the first recorded market formed some 800 years ago. Our vibrant indoor market continues to be held every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and here you will find a collection of bespoke businesses selling everything from fresh cakes and bread to antiques and gifts. We also have a number of interesting food outlets where you can sit and enjoy the market atmosphere.
Our outdoor street market can be enjoyed every Wednesday and Saturday which includes a number of quality plant sellers and food producers. As well as our many market events we also hold a monthly Artisan market held on the last Friday of each month, where you will find quality fresh produce from around the County. The best thing about the markets is that there's something for everybody to enjoy and are vastly different from the stale and routine trip to the local supermarket; we are sure you won’t be disappointed.
Oswestry itself boasts a number of independent and specialist retailers and coffee shops, and better yet, the area also features a number of historic pubs offering great food and drinks, perfect for a long day of shopping. We also have a beautiful award winning park, are the birth home of the famous war poet Wilfred Owen and boast a number of free galleries and town museum. The Cambrian railway also operates its steam train most weekends during the summer.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon

Oswestry Food and Drink Festival 2020 Cancelled
It is with regret that this years Oswestry Food and Drink Festival, planned for the 11th and 12th July, will be cancelled due to the outbreak of the Corona Virus. The free event is popular with visitors but the Government Guidance on social distancing and mass gatherings has meant that the event cannot take place.
The Mayor, Councillor Duncan Kerr said “This is one of the most important and biggest events in the calendar which attracts thousands of visitors to the town and whilst the Council has no other option it is still disappointing. The Oswestry Food and Drink Festival showcases the best of local produce, demonstrates to visitors what a great town we have but it also makes an important contribution to the local economy. We will look forward to the 2021 festival and make sure that it is better than ever. In the meantime you can help by supporting all our fabulous producers and retailers of local foods as soon as they are able to trade”
