Darwen Market is a long-standing market located in the centre of Darwen, Lancashire, and has been a key part of the town’s commercial and social life for generations.
The market is housed in a distinctive Victorian-era building, originally constructed in 1882, which features traditional ironwork and a glass roof typical of market architecture from that period. The building underwent significant refurbishment in the early 21st century to modernise facilities while preserving its historical character.
The market is divided into two main areas: the Indoor Market Hall, which hosts a wide range of permanent stalls offering fresh food, local produce, clothing, crafts, and services; and the Outdoor Market, which features temporary and seasonal traders. The blend of long-established family-run stalls and newer independent retailers gives the market a dynamic and community-focused feel.
