Market Drayton may appear to be a quiet place
But take a closer look
And you will find this town is ace
It’s like discovering a brilliant book
The gingerbread man trail makes you search
Where is he hiding, waiting to be found
Maybe one place to look is the church
Just tour the town and keep looking round
An historic, leisurely, pub walk
Exploring the past and the present
And enjoy a glass or two and some friendly chat
It’s a fiver well spent
Rediscover the hidden history of the town
By taking the discovery trail
Find out that the town once hid a man who wore a crown
And that’s only one of many tales
Every month talented creators and makers
Fill the artisan market with uniqueness
You can even find brewers and bakers
So come, shop and give in to your weakness
But let’s not forgot a summer Wednesday
The indoor and outdoor markets welcome you
Come, take a look, have a wander and stay
You might be surprised at what might be new
And there is a chance to meet the local council
Local residents who want the best for Market Drayton and do work hard
They listen, they do hear, they can even give counsel
They are Market Drayton’s Praetorian Guard.
