Bolton Market knows how important it is to shop locally
Bolton was once a market town. Each district has its own traders selling local produce.
Bolton Market is full of locally sourced fresh products, which are sold by independent traders from all over the region.
It’s easy to do your weekly shopping under one roof. It also helps the local economy and is a great way to help the environment.

Local shopping ensures local jobs, and leads to a thriving neighborhood.

Fresh, local produce is the best. However, buying locally helps to protect the environment by reducing carbon footprint and reducing food miles.
Paul said that we bought a boat in Fleetwood and that once that’s done, the fish will be brought straight from the sea to the ice.
Customers can’t get fresher than this now,
