In a successful bid to rejuvenate Wrexham’s iconic Monday Market, a group of local councillors have come together to breathe new life into this weekly outdoor market. From early June, the market began offering an exciting incentive for both new and regular traders: rent-free trading through June, July and August.
This initiative aims to attract a diverse array of vendors, enhancing the market’s vibrancy and variety. The councillors’ collective effort underscores their commitment to supporting local businesses and fostering a lively community atmosphere.
Cllr Nigel Williams, Lead Member for Economy at Wrexham Council said: “Launching this initiative has been successful, not only in supporting local businesses and market traders, but in helping us grow our markets community, and attracting people to the city centre. Supporting our market traders will support the sustainability of their local businesses, and help our community thrive.”
A special thanks goes to all councillors, whose dedication has been instrumental in driving this initiative forward. Additionally, Debbie Lovell, the market traders’ representative, played a crucial role in coordinating efforts and ensuring the success of the relaunch.
Previously reduced to single-figure traders the market has experienced a remarkable revival. It now fills Queen’s Square and extends on to Lord St, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere in the heart of Wrexham.
The relaunched Monday Market offers an array of goods, from fresh produce and handmade crafts to baked goods and artisan coffee. Local residents and visitors are invited to explore the market, and enjoy an enjoyable shopping experience in the sun.
The rent-free trading period runs through to the end of August, providing ample opportunity for traders to establish themselves and for shoppers to discover new favourites.
