Market Arcade in Newport is currently being renovated after many years of neglect. Situated between Newport's High Street and Market Street, it is the second oldest arcade in Wales.

The tour will begin with a look around the architecture of the High Street area and then enter the Market Arcade. Inside the arcade there will be a guided tour regarding the history of the structure and an up-to-date account of the restoration project.

Market Arcade is in High Street, approximately five minutes on foot from Newport's bus stations and railway station. Nearby landmarks are Newport Market and Ye Olde Murenger House. Please note: Newport Arcade is also in High Street, but a separate entity.
Inside the arcade there are uneven surfaces and, towards the end of the tour, there will be a steep staircase to ascend which may restrict access for some.
