The buzz is building in Redruth’s historic heart. An unmissable vibe is taking over as the Buttermarket breathes new life into the town centre. This is no ordinary marketplace – it’s the fresh soul of a local renaissance.
First a little more about us…
Forget stuffy establishments, the Buttermarket is a laid-back playground for foodies and culture vultures alike. Think kaleidoscopic street food pop-ups, budding businesses and funky artisan stalls. All buzzing with the energy of passionate locals doing what they love. Wander the courtyard and stumble upon live music, workshops, markets and more. It’s the new hub where Redruth’s diverse socialites unite to sip, snack, and celebrate their eclectic town.
Behind the scenes, the Buttermarket is pioneering ways to build a sustainable circular economy. From zero-waste menus using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients to plastic-free packaging and renewable energy, we’re leaving minimal traces while crafting maximum impact. Ethical sourcing and production? You got it. It’s a radical rethink of how a community marketplace can bring people together without costing the earth.
The real stars are the fledgling enterprises we nurture. Offering affordable spaces and support, we provide the fertile ground for Redruth’s rising chefs, artisans, and fledgling businesses to explore their concepts and gain a following. From blooming kitchen start-ups, digital and creative sector businesses to blossoming makers, we’re cultivating homegrown businesses until they’re ready to outgrow our spaces and plant themselves in larger Redruth venues.
Ultimately, the Buttermarket is just phase one of a long-term plan to reignite Redruth after dark. As our businesses thrive and take over vacant shopfronts, they’ll attract night owls back into the town centre with unbeatable food, drinks, and vibes. We won’t stop until Fore Street is jumping again as the place to experience Cornwall’s cultural kaleidoscope.
So, get that Insta ready – the Buttermarket is definitely going to slay your feed. More importantly, it’s the daring new spirit that’s helping reinvent what it means to build sustainable communities from the grassroots up. Join Redruth’s cool comeback story and experience a local revolution.
