Stowmarket is a market town and centre of trade for the surrounding area, providing a full range of shopping and banking facilities. The shops are friendly and individual, with a focus on quality and customer care.
There is a unique blend of national and independent retailers in the town centre, with a mixture of family run specialist stores and national chains that provide a wide range of products, meaning you can buy anything from a walking stick to a unique gift or designer outfit. Stowmarket is a pleasure to visit and shop in at any time of year.
With local street markets on a Thursday and Saturday, high-quality visitor attractions such as the Food Museum, the John Peel Centre and The Regal, and a number of restaurants and pubs, there is something in the town centre for everyone.
