Britain's Favourite Market, and Toot Sweets inside it
Shrewsbury's Market Hall has been voted Britain's Favourite Market, home to nearly 60 independent traders under one roof. Among them is Toot Sweets, run by Julia Wenlock, selling handmade chocolates, truffles, chocolate bars, traditional sweets, party bags and wedding favours — a proper specialist, in a market that keeps winning national recognition.
The nearby Darwin Shopping Centre, built in 1989 and refurbished in 2002, adds pick 'n' mix and American candy through stores like Mollie's — so between the two, Shrewsbury's town centre covers sweets from two different angles: handmade market-stall confectionery, and shopping-centre pick 'n' mix.
What neither stocks
A market stall and a shopping-centre unit both sell by the bag, not the bulk bag. Vegan-specific ranges, halal-friendly selections and full trade cases for a business or event aren't what either is set up to hold in stock.
Why Shrewsbury shoppers order online anyway
For bulk, dietary-specific or trade quantities, ordering online and having it delivered is the more consistent option than a trip to either the Market Hall or the Darwin Centre.
