Thought there would be more variety of stalls. But the indoor cafe was excellent. Especially the service from a perfect lady

Ulverston Market Hall is a little gem that will have something to interest all types of people, both young and old.
It has a classic cafe, homeware stalls, card stalls, fashion accessories, books and stalls so varied that they will linger for a lifetime in the memories of little children.
And it has decent, free-to-use, public toilets.

I went to Ulverston Market Hall the other day, and let me tell you, it’s a building that smells of ambition and a little bit of wet haddock. You walk in and instantly you’re greeted by that peculiar northern magic – like your nan’s front room but with more cheese counters.
First stall I saw was selling socks, but not normal socks – these were socks that looked like they’d seen the Crimean War. I asked the fella behind the counter if they were new, and he said, “New to you.” Fair enough.
Then there’s a bakery. Lovely bread, crusty like a pensioner’s elbow. I bought a pasty the size of a newborn ferret, and I ate it while wandering round looking for a man who could sharpen scissors. Didn’t find him, but I did find a lady selling chutney that smelt like a wizard’s pocket.
The hall itself is magnificent – proper Victorian bones, a bit draughty, like it might whisper riddles to you if you stayed after closing. I half expected a ghost in a top hat to ask me if I wanted two pounds of kippers and a kiss.
Ulverston Market Hall isn’t just a place to shop. It’s a place where you can buy three jars of jam, a VHS copy of Patriot Games, and a cabbage that looks like Sean Bean – all under one roof. That’s value.
I left with a bag full of mystery meat, a candle shaped like a dolphin, and a vague sense I’d been knighted by the town itself.
9 out of 10 – would return, but only if I can bring my own ferret.

An attractive indoor market with a good variety of well stocked stalls. Bought some good-priced clothes and had a nice snack lunch in the cafe in the corner.

Unfortunately, I did not find much of interest here. It reminded me of the shopping arcades my mother used to take me to in the late 1980s and early 1990s. I believe it would be beneficial to modernize this location to make it more appealing to a wider range of visitors.
