SHREWSBURY MARKET HALL

Shrewsbury’s Market Hall has become a haven for a growing colony of artists and handcrafters who have turned a large part of the market’s upper floor into a creative quarter.

​On the gallery level you’ll find artists and designer- makers at work including Rosie Read, Karen Duffy, Brigitta Shuker (Studio Yi) and Alison Staples (Romy Design). New to the market is The Makery, a collaboration of Shropshire artists and jewellery designers – Kate Johnston of Coppermoss Jewellery, Mel Fullerton of Silverlicious Artisan Jewellery, and Annalin Owen of Annalin Makes. A mini gallery, it also features guest artists. Easthope Studio is fresh to the market hall too, showcasing the work of jewellery designer Harriet Marshall and other local makers and artists. 

Overlooking the gallery a giant mural, by the Shrewsbury-based international artist Matt Sewell depicts a rare American black-crowned heron that mysteriously set up home in the town’s Quarry Park Dingle for several months in 2017. Matt has also created a stunning mural in market wine bar Petitglou, depicting a vineyard in moonlight.
