Hungerford Arcade has been buzzing with activity, getting ready for the end of lockdown
on 12th April. Arcade co-owner, Adrian Gilmour has once again invested lots of money in getting all the lighting changed over to LED as an ongoing part of our green policy which has been going on for many years now. It all started with using recycled paper donated to us by customers and stallholders, along with carrier bags. However, we have gone one step further by giving customers recycled boxes instead of plastic bags. The market traders (especially the Fruit and Veg people) donate their used boxes to us on market day, which is every Wednesday.

Pete who owns Pipes & Wires said, “It’s been a pleasure to work with Adrian, Hazel, Rita, Wendy, Richard and all the stallholders at the Arcade to help improve the old building’s ambience via improved lighting and electrical upgrades. Adrian and Hazel taking the initiative to look at the positive aspects of another lockdown by carrying out refurbishments has been a Good Tactical Decision! The benefits passed on to customers and traders will include improved light levels and durability. Taking a proactive step to lower CO2 emissions is admirable”
We are all very excited at the prospect of reopening on the 12th April. Stallholders have been giving their units a good sort out and restocking them ready for the big day.
We are all looking forward very much to once again welcoming all our customers back into Hungerford Arcade on 12th April 2021 at 9.15 am
