Loughborough town

The twice-weekly Loughborough market is a must see – part of the town’s history for over 800 years, this award-winning display offers the finest local produce. You can purchase everything from freshly baked goods, confectionery, clothing, household supplies and plants.

Every November, the much-loved Loughborough fair comes to town bringing an array of rides, games, attractions and food stalls to keep everyone entertained.

For those who want to explore even more of the local area, we’re fortunate enough to be surrounded by popular tourist attractions such as the Peak District, as well as the beautiful Bradgate Park and Beacon Hill. We’re also nestled between the larger cities of Derby, Nottingham and Leicester for those seeking a more urban experience.

“My favourite thing about Loughborough is the community-like atmosphere. Although it was a big change for me moving from a big city to a small town, I liked that you can go anywhere and bump into someone you know.”
