Newark & Sherwood District Council

Newark’s Buttermarket and Royal Exchange is now owned and managed in partnership by Newark and Sherwood District Council and Newark Town Council.

A phased plan of action is underway that will initially see activity and life brought back in the buildings. We will also be undertaking some refurbishments and repairs.

We see the iconic buildings as playing a major and strategic role in boosting the town’s retail, cultural and leisure offer.

A number of new shops are open in the Buttermarket in the short term giving local and new ‘start-up’ enterprises a central high street position to enjoy. This has created a busy and vibrant atmosphere in the Buttermarket giving us time to formulate our longer term plans.

Disabled access is available via Chain Lane and Middlegate Entrances.

By Tonya Art and Photography Studio

I am a creative minded and family orientated person. I have studied both art and photography and enjoy experimenting with mixed media.  My studio is open to everyone whether it be one person to a whole family.

As a mother I have some experience around children with additional needs and would like to offer extra time to families with special and additional needs so that they are comfortable and ready to go in front of the camera.

In time I am hoping to offer themed photos shoots.
