Sweets in Peterborough: Sweet Memories at the Market, and 900 Years of Trading

Peterborough's unitary authority area was home to around 223,655 people in 2024.

Sweet Memories, and centuries of market trading

Market trading in Peterborough goes back a long way — the original "Marketstede" was laid out around 1145, and the city was granted an annual fair by charter in 1189. Today's Peterborough Market on Bridge Street carries that tradition forward with independent traders, including Sweet Memories at stall 53, selling pick 'n' mix and traditional sweets by weight.

Still a market stall, not a wholesaler

Centuries of market trading in the city is real history, but a pick 'n' mix stall is set up for a shopper filling a bag on market day, not a business ordering trade cases or an event needing a vegan-specific or halal-friendly range sorted in bulk.

Why that still means ordering online for volume

For anything beyond stall quantities, ordering online and having it delivered works exactly the same in Peterborough as anywhere else in the UK — no separate process or extra cost, just standard delivery.

25,000+ customers, and counting

We've served over 25,000 customers UK-wide, Peterborough and the rest of Cambridgeshire included, with most orders dispatched within 1-2 business days. The range covers pick 'n' mix by the bag and tub, bulk bags from 1kg to 3kg, trade cases for events and businesses, vegan and halal-friendly sweets, retro favourites, and full chocolate ranges from the major brands.
