Market Quarter Launch

A very warm welcome to the Aberdare Market Quarter’s brand-new website. The Market Hall, Market Arcade and Market Street are undergoing a makeover with the launch of a new brand design, website and social media presence. This is soon to be followed with new internal and external signage and other branded items such as shopping bags and banners.


The Market Quarter consists entirely of local family-owned independent traders offering a huge selection of products at great quality and great value. There’s never been a more important time to “Shop Local” and support all these small businesses. We hope that having explored our new website you will soon pay us a visit. We look forward to seeing you.


We would like to thank Jack Kinnerly at Website Sorted and Gareth Pugh at Plaingraffic – local based companies - for their outstanding help and support in our new branding activity. Also, the Market Tenants Association for their support and Paul Webber, a trader in the Market Hall, for undertaking the photography supporting the site. Diolch yn fawr.
