Discover a Town steeped in culinary history
Market Drayton is a medieval market town in North Shropshire located on the county borders of North Staffordshire and Cheshire.
Originally set up by the monks of nearby Combermere Abbey in order to sell their home grown produce & wares, the market became the centre for trade in the area, and is still a thriving weekly market.
The town, which is also known for being the ‘home of gingerbread’ with links to the spice trade routes still produces food recognised all over the world. Read more here.
