Weymouth’s answer to Portobello Market breathes new life into shopping centre

The launch of an indoor market offers new opportunities to independent retailers in the seaside town of Weymouth.

The popular seaside town of Weymouth in Dorset has added another string to its bow with the launch of a new indoor market, called the School Street Plaza. Billed as ‘Weymouth’s answer to Portobello market’ in London’s trendy Notting Hill, the new development opened at the end of June in the Colwell Centre building in School Street, and is home to a wide range of large and small traders, including furniture, antiques, arts and crafts, vintage clothing, a beautician, and a cafe/bistro.
