Every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday hundreds of thousands of visitor's shop till they drop at Bury's World Famous Markets.

Bury Market offers great choice and value with over 200,000 square feet of selling area, 50,000 product lines on 370 stalls and 250,000 shoppers every week. The Town Centre has an advanced security system which ensures Bury is one of the safest towns in the North West.

So much choice, so much variety in a unique and friendly atmosphere. A shopper and bargain hunter's paradise in a traditional open market with improved weather protection. The largest and most successful market in the region, Bury Market has great people and great characters.

Parking is straightforward because you just follow the brown tourist information signs, Bury has ample and inexpensive parking.

Last year more than 700 coaches were recorded and welcomed to Bury Market; taking advantage of the free coach parking. But the number who came was considerably more because only those operators who claim the £5 driver's Lunch Voucher are recorded, the real number could be double that.

This year Markets Management have produced special DVD's and more publicity to make it even easier for those who wish to come to this very special market.

But there are other reasons to come to Bury. In the town centre there's also the Millgate shopping centre, the award winning East Lancashire Steam Railway and a wonderful museum and art gallery too, all accessible on foot.

As 'The Independent' published recently … This newspaper reckons everyone should sample the delights at least once in their lifetime. It's a "must visit place" - so without question, we recommend to our readers that they'll receive a real Lancastrian welcome when they put Bury Market on their shopping list.
