Crewkerne has been a place of trade and markets for over a thousand years. Now, in 2010 we welcome you to come and share our town.

With a wide range of shops from traditional family butchers, delicatessen to the large supermarkets and our most recent newcomers, Waitrose & Lidl, Crewkerne offers something for everyone.

Amid the splendour of neo-classical styles of architecture, you will find unique shops alongside high street names. Around the town you can enjoy unspoilt countryside, fine views and great picnic spots; inside the historic town centre you can explore our heritage, visit our independent museum, 15thC parish church and drop in to find out what's on at our centre Local Information Centre at the Town Hall.

Whether you use Crewkerne as your base to visit nearby Dorset, Devon and the coast or stay around locally and explore the sights, you can be sure of a warm welcome in Crewkerne and our neighbouring villages.
