12 Things to See and Do
at Salisbury Cathedral
Shoppers can head for their favourite high street stores.
Or seek out quirky, independent shops offering products designed
and crafted locally. For hustle and bustle you can’t beat a good
market, and Salisbury is blessed with markets in abundance. A
magnet for traders and shoppers alike, the Charter Market has
been drawing people to the city – every century, every year,
every week, every Tuesday* and Saturday – for almost 800 years.
Throughout the year the Market Place and Guildhall Square are
also home to artisan, teenage and vintage markets. Farmers’ and
Foodie Friday markets. Continental markets and an ever-popular
Christmas Fayre.
Salisbury Art Scene hold a monthly event in the Market Square
(March to December) to showcase the skills and works form
local artists.
Salisbury’s engaging cultural scene reflects the city’s deep-rooted
creativity and imagination. Under the banner of Wiltshire
Creative, Salisbury Playhouse, Salisbury
Arts Centre and Salisbury International
Arts Festival embrace the contemporary,
the traditional and the – occasionally –
somewhat eccentric. Resulting in a vibrant blend of music,
dance, theatre, comedy and more. It’s no surprise that
Salisbury has been awarded Purple Flag status – the ‘gold
standard’ for a great night out.
Just 90 minutes by train from London Waterloo, Salisbury
makes an unbeatable destination for day trips and short
breaks alike. It is also an excellent base for discovering all
that Wiltshire has to offer. For a comprehensive guide to the
