🌟Are you supporting local this year?

We are encouraging residents and visitors to shop and support local businesses. 🛍️This includes our (operated by L*D Promotions) that continues to be held on George Street, Market Street and temporarily on Lower Gungate, every Tuesday and Saturday.

⭐Take a look at some of our amazing traders and the great stalls they offer:

🛌Quilts, blankets and pillows

Tristan is 2nd generation of his family trading on Tamworth Market.

He sells a huge selection of quilts and pillows and has been trading on the market for the last 40 years.

His Dad used to sell net curtains and Tristan would accompany him on a Tuesday to help out.

Tristan says having the right pillow is the key to good health. It reduces pressure on your hips, shoulders, neck and back resulting in better quality sleep, ultimately improving your health.🛏️

If your pillows are old and impeding your sleep, visit Tristan on Tamworth Market and start each day after a good nights sleep. You can also pick up a new quilt at the same time!

They did us proud 🥰👏👏

What a journey! 💪⚽

A huge well done to Tamworth FC for their heroic performance in the FA Cup against Tottenham Hotspur. Though the result wasn’t in our favour after extra time, it was a valiant effort of which you can all be proud. Reaching this stage is a monumental achievement that will be remembered for years to come. 🟥🟦

Thank you to all the fans who showed incredible support today, both at The Lamb Ground and in our town centre. You’ve truly embodied the spirit of Tamworth.

Let’s keep our heads high and continue cheering for this amazing team! 👏

🛍️As we enter 2025, we're encouraging residents and visitors to shop and support local businesses. This includes our (operated by L*D Promotions) that continues to be held on George Street, Market Street and temporarily on Lower Gungate, every Tuesday and Saturday.

⭐Over the next few weeks we want to highlight some of our amazing long standing traders and the great stalls they offer:

🔷Bond Rugs:

Paul has been trading on Tamworth Market for an impressive 34 years!🌟

At the age of 19 he started working with his Dad on the family stall at Bridgenorth Market, where Paul honed his craft and skills to become a Market Trader.

⭐Paul's expertise in floor coverings is unmatched, thanks to his years of experience and dedication to his craft. Whether you're in need of a stylish door mat, a luxurious rug for your hearth, or a practical runner for the hallway, Paul has got you 'covered' with a wide selection of rugs, mats, and floor coverings in every colour and texture imaginable – all at fantastic prices!

🐶All regulars to Tamworth Market will know Paul does not work alone, his trusty companion, Beau, is nearly always by his side. Beau is a beautiful black cocker spaniel who is only to happy to welcome every customer to the stall.

🔷Paul’s journey started in Tamworth one early Tuesday February morning around 6am. He and his Dad were travelling to a market in Stockport, but the further north they went, sky was getting darker and snow was starting to fall. However, behind them the skies were blue and bright, so Paul’s Dad asked "Where is that place so’n’so trades from?", to which Paul replied “Tamworth!”. So at J17 Sandback, they turned around and started the 60 mile journey south and headed for Tamworth.

🔷Upon arrival, outside the old Barclays Bank on St Editha’s Square, they were met by the Market Manager. Paul and his Dad said they were looking for a pitch to trade, and they were directed to the corner of St Editha’s Square.

💙Paul is currently trading from George Street while the work is carried out to renovate St Editha's Square. 💙

We are reaching out to the community and beyond in an effort to uncover more about an extraordinary woman from our town’s past – Miss Elizabeth Bradford.

Elizabeth Bradford was a trailblazer in Tamworth’s history. She became the first employee of the Tamworth Co-operative Society when it opened its doors on 10 December 1886. Working an incredible 70-hour week for nine shillings, her hard work and determination played a key role in the early success of the Society, which was a vital part of the town’s history.

The Co-operative movement played a significant role in shaping Tamworth’s development, fostering values of mutual support, community spirit, and progress. Elizabeth Bradford’s story is an integral part of this history, and we are eager to discover more about her life, her family, and her legacy.

If you are a relative of Elizabeth Bradford or have any information about her life, we would love to hear from you. This is a unique opportunity to celebrate one of Tamworth’s pioneering women and to connect with the roots of our town’s community spirit.

Please contact us at [email protected] Whether you’re a direct descendant or simply have a story to share, your insights could help us unlock more of Tamworth’s fascinating history.

Join us in piecing together the story of this remarkable individual – and share in the excitement of rediscovering a vital part of our town’s heritage.
