The town boasts a market dating back to 1244, cafes, restaurants, wine bars and traditional inns serving real ale, guest houses, hotels, and buildings with a story to tell. Despite the pandemic new businesses have opened in the high street, shopfronts have been given a facelift and Wellington Market is set to open a new food quarter providing a positive boost for the town. Community spirit is at the heart of Wellington with an abundance of annual events programmed in to celebrate the arts and history of the town. There are also many community volunteer groups who regularly meet to improve and preserve local areas of importance such as Wellington Train Station, Bowring Park and Dothill Nature Reserve.
