Cornwall Shopping: Where Retail Therapy Meets Actual Therapy (Well, Almost)
Remember the good old days when shopping centres were just for, well, shopping? A place where you'd shuffle through racks of clothes, wrestle with a shopping trolley, and maybe grab a coffee if you were feeling fancy? Well, those days are behind us—thankfully. These days, Cornwall shopping is about way more than just ticking items off your list. It's an adventure, an experience, and in some cases, practically a mini-vacation. And no place captures this transformation better than Par Market, the South West's largest indoor traders’ market. Here, you can shop, eat, and even be entertained without ever worrying about Cornish drizzle ruining your hair. Let's dive into how Cornwall shopping has evolved into something truly spectacular.
Shopping Centres of Yesteryear: The Good, The Bad, and The Bland
Ah, the shopping centres of old. They were like the beige slacks of the retail world—functional but not exactly exciting. You went in, got what you needed, and left as quickly as possible, probably muttering under your breath about the parking situation. Sure, there were a few seasonal sales to spice things up, but let's be honest—it wasn't exactly the highlight of your week. As online shopping started gaining steam, these traditional malls started to feel a bit, well, like those beige slacks—outdated and desperately in need of a makeover.
The Cornwall Shopping Glow-Up: From Drab to Fab
Fast forward to today, and shopping centres have undergone a serious transformation. They’ve gone from being utilitarian spaces to full-blown lifestyle destinations—think of it as a retail Cinderella story. And leading this retail revolution in Cornwall is Par Market. We’ve taken Cornwall shopping and given it a glow-up that even your Instagram feed would envy. Now, shopping isn’t just about buying stuff; it’s about having a blast while you do it. And let’s be real, who doesn’t want a bit of fun with their shopping?
Par Market: The Crown Jewel of Cornwall Shopping
Smack dab in the heart of Cornwall, Par Market is where Cornwall shopping reaches its peak. Picture this: aisles upon aisles of unique stalls, a Food Hall that’s a foodie’s dream come true, and events that’ll make you wonder if you’ve stumbled into a festival. Whether you’re here to hunt for bargains, find a hidden gem, or just enjoy a day out without getting soaked by a sudden downpour, Par Market has got you covered—literally, it’s all indoors.
The Food Hall: Where Cornwall Shopping Gets Deliciously Distracting
Let’s get one thing straight—our Food Hall isn’t just some afterthought to keep you from getting hangry while you shop. It’s a full-on culinary playground that just so happens to be located inside a shopping centre. Imagine this: you’re cruising through stalls, eyeing some antique trinkets, when suddenly the smell of freshly baked Cornish pasties hits you like a warm hug. Resistance is futile. Before you know it, you’re devouring a pasty the size of your head and contemplating dessert because, hey, you’re already here.
The food hall is like the cherry on top of your Cornwall shopping experience—or maybe the clotted cream on top of your scone? Either way, it’s a must-visit part of Par Market that’ll have you coming back for more. We’re just saying, don’t be surprised if you start planning your visits around your stomach rather than your shopping list.
Keeping your fingers Green
Looking for a gift that’s a bit more exciting than another pair of socks? 🌱 Our collection of quirky succulents, prickly cacti, and even the elusive Cornish white frill cyclamen are the perfect way to say, “You’re one of a kind!” Each plant is pampered like it’s about to star in a garden magazine, so you can be sure it’ll arrive looking fresh and fabulous. And for a little extra Cornish charm, our “Little Jar of Cornwall” is a gift that’s small in size but big on character.

We’ve got everything from live music that’ll get your foot tapping (or full-on dancing if that’s your thing) to craft fairs where you can find one-of-a-kind goodies. And if you’re bringing the kids along, no worries—there’s always something to keep them entertained too.
These events are what make Par Market more than just another stop on your Cornwall shopping tour. They turn your shopping trip into a mini-adventure, where you never know what you might find or experience. Just be prepared—you might come for the shopping but stay for the fun.

In a world that’s increasingly dominated by big-box stores and mass-produced everything, we like to keep things a little more personal—and a lot more interesting. Our stalls are run by local artisans and entrepreneurs who bring a bit of that famous Cornish spirit to everything they do.
When you shop here, you’re not just getting a great product—you’re supporting the local community. And trust us, these traders put their heart and soul into their work, which means you’re always going to find something special. It’s Cornwall shopping with a conscience—and maybe even a bit of banter thrown in for good measure.
