Greetings, Chelmsford locals! We have some exciting news to share. Our beloved Chelmsford Indoor Market has been shortlisted as one of the top ten contenders for Britain's Favourite Market 2025, an award organised by the National Association of British Market Authorities (NABMA).
Dating back to the 11th century, Chelmsford Indoor Market is a treasure trove of family-run businesses, offering a wide array of products. From the freshest produce at the fruit and veg stalls to the aromatic bread from the bakers and the beautifully arranged bouquets at the florists, there's something for everyone.
Not just a place for your weekly shop, the market is also a hub of culture and history. On Thursdays, it transforms into a vintage wonderland, with traders proudly displaying their collections of war memorabilia, vinyl records, vintage jewellery, and much more.
The nomination of our market as one of the best in the UK is a testament to the dedication of the traders and the love of the shoppers. It emphasises how vital it is to support local, family-run businesses, ensuring the longevity of Chelmsford’s traditional market in the 21st century.
The next stage of the competition involves evaluation by industry experts, culminating in the announcement of the winner at the NABMA January Conference in Birmingham on 30th January 2025.
David Preston, Chief Executive of NABMA, rightly said, "Markets continue to be the beating heart of our high streets and communities." We couldn't agree more, especially when it comes to our Chelmsford Indoor Market.
Whether we clinch the title or not, we're incredibly proud of this recognition. So, next time you're in town, why not stop by the market? You never know, you might just find that perfect vintage piece or the freshest loaf of bread. And while you're at it, if you're considering a move in or around Chelmsford, don't hesitate to pop into our Bond Residential office. We'd love to help you find your perfect home in this vibrant community.
