NABMA and the Society of Local Council Clerks (SLCC) invite members to register their interest in an upcoming study visit to Shrewsbury on Tuesday 30 June from 10:30. This free event will take place across the town centre and its award-winning market, with places allocated based on demand.

Hosted with support from Shrewsbury Town Council and Town Clerk Helen Ball, the visit offers a valuable opportunity to explore how Shrewsbury has successfully repositioned its town centre. Delegates will gain insight into the multi-award-winning Market Hall, widely recognised for its role in driving footfall, supporting local enterprise, and enhancing the town’s appeal as a destination.

The programme will include a strategic welcome, a guided Market Hall tour with trader engagement, a town centre walkabout to understand wider economic impact, and a session on governance and devolution, including Shrewsbury’s experience of service transfer. There will also be opportunities for discussion and knowledge exchange throughout the day.

This study tour is ideal for those interested in market management, town centre regeneration, and the evolving role of local councils.

To express your interest, please fill the below form by Friday 8 May.
