Longton Victorian Market named best in Staffordshire
A Stoke-on-Trent market which dates back over 150 years has been named the best in Staffordshire.
Longton Victorian Market clinched the title of ‘Staffordshire Market of the Year’ at the Our Staffordshire News’ Business, Charity, Community and Food Awards 2025.
The awards, which took place earlier this month, awarded Tunstall Market, also managed by Stoke-on-Trent City Council, third in the same category.
Councillor Finlay Gordon-McCusker, cabinet member for transport, regeneration and infrastructure at Stoke-on-Trent City Council, said: “Our markets are really important to our local communities and this award is testament to that.
“All of our traders and our dedicated markets team work tirelessly to make sure our markets remain at the heart of our town centres, so I would like to pass on my huge congratulations to them.
“If you haven’t visited for a while, I would encourage you to pop down and support your local market.”
