Salisbury is home to all your favourite stores, as well as independent retailers offering interesting and unusual items you won’t find on every high street, and on Tuesdays and Saturdays (except the third Tuesday in October) the historic Charter Market comes to town. Other markets take place throughout the year, and between 23 November and 17 December (dates tbc) you can join the festivities at the city’s delightful Christmas Market.
Just one of many exciting events to choose from in 2017, the world-renowned Ageas Salisbury International Arts Festival runs from 26 May-10 June and this year looks west to the province of Quebec.

With so much to do throughout the day and on into the early hours of the morning, Salisbury has been awarded Purple Flag status – the ‘gold standard’ for a great night out.
