Widnes Market

Widnes Market celebrates it's 150th birthday in 2025 and is a long-standing favourite shopping location for the local community. It is based centrally in the heart of the Town Centre and sits conveniently alongside a large car park, the town's public transport hub and a primary taxi rank. It plays host to almost a hundred small businesses within its indoor and outdoor markets.

The facility is open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 9:00am - 4:30pm and has been operating for almost a hundred and fifty years.

There's a great mix of stalls, some of which have been based there for over 80 years, and are run by third generation market traders.

The stall variety at the market is extensive and includes service businesses such as a seamstress, dry cleaning service, key cutting, shoe repairs, watch and jewellery repairs, a hairdressing salon and gentlemen's barbers, pet supplies and accessories, vacuum sales and repairs, Mobility vehicle sales and repairs, and even an optician!

Fresh food supplies are available to suit all tastes with a greengrocer, butchers, delicatessen, a world-food ingredients specialist and a fishmonger. There are now also seven hot and cold food outlets offering a fantastic array of eat-in and takeaway foods such as a noodle bar, Greek Gyros, traditional Cafe options, fresh sandwiches, barista coffee and lots more to try as you make your way around.

Widnes Market now also offers extra facilities that help support its position as a welcoming community hub. These include a free water refill point, a nursing room and quiet place facility, disabled toilets, specialist changing places facility and a multi-
denominational prayer room.

As well as a long-standing favourite shopping location in Halton, the market also regularly holds free-of-charge family-themed events for the public such as music festivals, a comic-con, easter celebrations, a full programme of Christmas events throughout December and many more as part of the market's aim to be more than just a shopping destination.
