Centre Market as it was originally known, is a historic market complex in downtown Charleston. Established in the 1790s, the market stretches for four city blocks from the Market Hall, on Meeting Street, through three open air wooden structures called market sheds that continue down Market Street to East Bay Street. A fun and original shopping experience, here you can find Charleston's most popular items, from sweetgrass baskets to bags of grits and rare, and unexpected products that are perfect to take home as a souvenir or gift from your Charleston visit.
