Tommyfield Market
Steeped in character and tradition, Tommyfield Market is another shopping hotspot you must explore this holiday season. With a wide variety of stalls offering products such as fresh fruit and vegetables, meats, flowers, toys, fashion and clothing, greeting cards, gifts and much more – support your local traders this Christmas.
Here’s a go-to guide of where you should visit in the market for all your Christmas essentials this year.
Independent businesses
Oldham has a number of high-quality independent businesses located around the town centre.
From shops selling fashionable clothing to stylish footwear, all things health and beauty and homely furnishing, be sure to support your local businesses too.
Parking
The one thing all shoppers need when they’re out and about this Christmas is free parking.
That’s why we’re offering up to 3 hours of free parking on all Council-owned town centre car parks every Saturday and Sunday.
To qualify for this offer though, please remember to take a ticket from the pay and display machine for the length of time you intend to stay.
