Today Mark visited Newport Indoor Market with Newport councillor Tim Nelson to celebrate the start of the 'Love Your Local Market' campaign.
The campaign, which runs from Friday 17th May until Saturday 1st June, was created by the Shropshire-based National Association of British Markets with the aim of promoting local markets and attracting new traders.
While some local markets around the country are struggling to attract and retain traders, Newport Indoor Market has a waiting list for stalls.
News of the strong performance of Newport Indoor Market follows the Government's decision, announced in the 2023 Spring Budget, to invest £7.8 million in the refurbishment of Wellington's 13th Century market.
Newport Market is a great place to shop, with fish, meat, cheese and other locally sourced, high quality products available to Newport residents right on their doorstep.
