About The Venue

West Bromwich High Street Market is an open-air street market that opened in 1990 within the Sandwell Centre area of Oldbury.

The space operates under natural daylight from Monday to Saturday, creating a lively environment throughout the day. Stalls feature modern designs and open-air formats, supporting casual traders and dedicated shoppers using adaptable stand layouts for better access.
