Great Haywood 2019

A busy Floating Market scene.
The 2019 Floating Market was held below the lock by Essex bridge and the back entrance to Shugborough Hall. The boats even went beyond the iron bridge.

This is a lovely setting near Shugborough Hall, the former home of the Anson family and, most recent, Patrick Lichfield. It is a very popular location for our Floating Markets, with trading spots being in high demand!
There is good local parking, reasonable bus service and wheelchair access.
Take a look through the gallery of photographs of the Floating Market at Great Haywood 2019 to get a feel of the atmosphere.

You don’t have to be cute to attend a Floating Market, but it helps!

Just some of the boats at the Floating Market. There were so many, the rest were the other side of the bridge!
