Bury Market

For over 500 years (amazingly established in 1444), Bury has had a market, and today it is a unique shopping experience and the biggest in the North West. Oozing charisma and atmosphere, the ambience and layout offers visitors the opportunity to seek out and visit every stall. The range of products and facilities is second to none with around 370 stalls selling everything from meat and groceries to clothing and jewellery. It's a unique shopping experience and a great day out where you can buy anything and everything in one location. For those that just love to shop there are even more shops in the neighbouring Mill Gate Shopping Centre and also in the Rock Shopping Centre, which is just a short walk away. After all that shopping you will have earned a well-deserved break. Stop off at one of the many delicatessens, cafes and takeaways, and enjoy a local treat like a Manchester Tart or Eccles Cake, whilst no trip to Bury Market would be complete without sampling the local delicacy, Bury Black pudding!

Blackpool Illuminations evening coach tour

One of the best way to see them is on an evening coach tour, so you can see the lights in all their glory with an unobstructed view.
