Shopping
Somerset's Retail Capital

Taunton town centre offers an exciting range of shops, cafes and other leisure facilities. Many major stores can be found on its bustling main shopping streets and in the newly-refurbished retail centre, Orchard. It also boasts a wide variety of independent shops particularly in Bath Place and the Coal Orchard area - and a very popular Vale of Taunton Farmer’s market, located in the High Street every Thursday. The town centre hosts a range of events and entertainment year round.
Project Taunton is planning major improvements to both the main shopping area and Coal Orchard, making the town the wider catchment's retail destination of choice. Work on Phase 1 of the High Street's relandscaping project will begin in Autumn 2011.
