A Better Way to Begin a Busy Day
Trentham Gardens draws visitors from across the region for shopping, gardens and events. But before the crowds and car parks, there’s a calmer way to start.
Market Drayton.
For visitors travelling from North Shropshire and Cheshire, the town sits conveniently on the way — and offers everything needed for a smoother start.
Coffee first? The Hideout and Jones Coffee Shop both provide the perfect setting to fuel up before heading towards Staffordshire.
Planning a lakeside picnic at Trentham? Call into Drayton Deli for a ready-made meal deal or build your own packed lunch from Greggs.
And because British weather doesn’t always cooperate with garden visits, it’s worth checking you’ve got the right layer. Newlife offers affordable clothing options, including warm jackets and raincoats — with the added bonus that your purchase supports charity.
After a busy afternoon at Trentham, Market Drayton makes an appealing return stop. Swap retail rush for relaxed surroundings, enjoy a later lunch or coffee, or unwind in one of the town’s pubs before the final stretch home.
With regular bus links to Shrewsbury and Whitchurch, Market Drayton continues to prove itself as a well-connected hub in North Shropshire — practical, welcoming and perfectly placed.
Big destinations are exciting.
But the best days begin somewhere genuine.
