There’s more happening in Market Drayton than you might think, and finding out what’s on has never been easier thanks to Make it Market Drayton.
From weekly clubs, classes and community activities to live entertainment, markets, workshops, family days out and special events, the Make it Market Drayton What’s On guide is bringing everything together in one place.
One of the things we’re increasingly hearing from local people is how much easier it has become to discover what’s happening around town.
Previously, information about activities and events was often scattered across different Facebook pages, websites, posters and community noticeboards. Now, residents and visitors can visit one website to discover opportunities to get involved, try something new or simply enjoy what Market Drayton has to offer.
There’s something happening throughout the week
It’s not just the big events that make Market Drayton such an active town.
Every week, local organisations, businesses, clubs and community groups organise activities that bring people together.
From fitness sessions, creative workshops and social groups to regular markets, music, theatre, talks and activities for children, there’s a great deal happening throughout the year.
Many activities are free or low-cost, making it easier for people to get involved, meet others and discover new interests.
The What’s On guide helps people find these regular activities alongside one-off events, so there’s always a reason to take another look.
More than just an events calendar
The guide isn’t simply about advertising events. It’s also about helping people discover the businesses, organisations and community groups that make Market Drayton such a lively and welcoming place.
Someone looking for something to do at the weekend might discover a new community group. A family searching for half-term activities could find a workshop they didn’t know existed. A local business owner might spot a free training session or networking opportunity.
It’s also helping people see just how much is happening on their doorstep.
Helping local events reach more people
Make it Market Drayton is keen to ensure that events of all sizes have the opportunity to reach a wider audience.
Community groups, charities, businesses, clubs, schools and event organisers are encouraged to share details of their activities so they can be included in the What’s On guide.
That includes regular weekly and monthly activities, seasonal events, fundraisers, exhibitions, performances, workshops, open days and community celebrations.
The more organisations that contribute, the more useful the guide becomes for everyone.
A town with plenty to discover
Market Drayton has a thriving community with people working hard throughout the year to organise activities, create opportunities and bring people together.
By bringing these events and activities into one accessible guide, Make it Market Drayton is helping more people discover what’s available and encouraging greater participation in town life.
It’s also another way of supporting the local economy, encouraging people to visit the town centre, spend time in local businesses and make the most of everything Market Drayton has to offer.
