Tetbury Market House

Tetbury Market House, a Grade I listed building located in the heart of Tetbury, Gloucestershire, is a stunning example of neoclassical architecture completed in 1655. Originally serving as both a market house and town hall, it features a symmetrical façade with seven bays, an arcaded ground floor for markets, and an elegant assembly room above. The building has a rich history, having hosted town meetings, court hearings, and even served as a lock-up for petty criminals. Visitors can enjoy the annual Tetbury Food and Drink Festival held in September, which includes a farmers market in the historic market hall. The building is not only a key historical site but also a vibrant part of the community, with events like the Christmas lights switch-on attended by notable figures such as the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall.
