Back for its 3rd year, Shrewsbury Prison Christmas Market will be running over 2 days – Saturday 9th & Sunday 10th December. Once again its completely free to enter, register your FREE tickets.

A TRADITIONAL STYLE MARKET

Full of festive atmosphere, showcasing many different gifts, crafts, clothing, games, toys, and street food suppliers, but with one big twist. It’s set within the grounds of Shrewsbury Prison, An Immersive Dark Tourism Attraction and 5 -star destination.

Shrewsbury Prison is ideally situated in central Shrewsbury, with great access to local transport links.

In the exercise yard you will find a range of street food vendors and drink providers, serving delicious foods, cakes, mince pies and of course a lovely cup of mulled wine to warm you on a chilly winter’s day.

The main market is situated in the buildings at the rear of the prison site, which include the visits area, the chapel, and sports hall. You can browse through more than 65 stalls offering Christmas gifts, decorations, clothing and much more from local independent businesses.
