Bury Market has previously been voted Market of the Year in 2006, 2009, 2012, and 2015, and Britain’s Favourite Market in 2019 and 2022.
The Top 10 markets (in alphabetical order) are:

Market Drayton Market
Nantwich Indoor and Outdoor Market
Oxford Covered Market
Pontypridd Market
Shrewsbury Indoor Market

The next phase involves evaluation by a panel of industry experts, who will decide which market takes the coveted title of “Britain’s Favourite Market 2025”.
The winner will be announced at the NABMA January Conference in Birmingham on January 30, alongside other Great British Market Award winners.

Cllr Charlotte Morris, cabinet member for culture and the economy, said: “We all know how hugely popular Bury Market is, both with locals and visitors from across the land.
“Fingers crossed that our famous and historic market triumphs and brings home yet another national and prestigious award.
“We’re investing millions of pounds in the future of the market, with the flexi hall and a new roof on the outdoor market, which will ensure it thrives in our town centre for decades to come.”
