Traders at Redditch Market pride themselves on providing quality service. Jackie Hope is a regular customer of the market and says, "Redditch hasn't got a ‘big shopping shop’in the town centre, so the market stalls are my mainstay for shopping during the week.”
Jackie uses a powered wheelchair from the town’s Shopmobility scheme, and finds that the friendly, personal service offered by the market traders makes shopping a pleasure, “The traders are very wheelchair aware. They’ll take the time to hang your shopping on the back, and give you exactly what you need- even if it’s just two carrots!” |

“The traders are all really friendly, and take the trouble to know me by name. A visit to the market is like chatting to old friends.” If it’s been a while since you last visited Redditch Market, you may be surprised by how much it has changed. So why not pop along and get ready for Christmas with traditional open-air shopping in friendly, vibrant surroundings? |
