Feilding Shopping:

The main central shopping area in Feilding radiates from Manchester Square.


New commercial buildings contrast with the carefully preserved heritage styles, and the broad thoroughfare of Kimbolton Road emphasises the overall effect of dignified charm of this rural servicing town. With many owner/operator businesses, the shops offer a uniqueness and variety of choice not seen in the city. The friendly customer service complements the ongoing upgrading of the central streets recognising the rural and heritage history of Feilding. With no traffic lights or parking meters, shoppers are encouraged to park as long as they wish, while enjoying their relaxed shopping experience.


Locally grown fresh produce and added value products are all sold by the producers at the Farmers Market in Manchester Square, Feilding, every Friday from 9am till 2pm. Stalls include chicken, venison, eggs, wine, patè, fudge, preserves, flowers, plants, baking, breads, seasonal fruits and veggies, herbal teas and products, pesto and hummus and much more.
