Haverhill town centre - businesses

• Haverhill town centre is bucking the national trend with a less than 10% vacancy rate.
  
  
• 74% of the retailing operations are independents. Shops run by third generation owners sit side by side with outlets of national chains. 
   
• From a pet shop, to a craft shop, from toys and party items to household furnishings, from upscale beauty salons to fashion, clothing, footwear and books, and an increasing cafe culture, the town also offers hair salons, estate agents, convenience and fast foods, books, beauty and health products, stationery, and white and brown goods. You could buy all the clothes for a wedding, including designer gowns, organise the photography, bring your child to the kids zone in the leisure centre, keep fit, swim, see the latest blockbusters at Cineworld or art films in the Arts Centre, enjoy food at outlets ranging from sandwich bars, through ethnic cuisine, to cocktail bars and upscale restaurants; you could even organise a funeral; all in Haverhill town centre.
  
  
• Popular street markets, which began in the 1200s in Haverhill, continue to operate today - on Fridays and Saturdays. There are a wide range of products available. Following a markets review in 2010, the borough council is leading a markets forum, made up of market traders and officers, to develop the markets further.
  
  
• There is an extensive programme of arts and events in the Arts Centre on the High Street, as well as in the parks and areas around. Famous name performers rub shoulders with up and coming young local talent. Contact details can be found on the Haverhill town centre contact information webpage.
