There are over 100 shops and businesses in the centre of Ramsbottom.  Many of the shops are of a specialist nature, some of the goods available can not be found elsewhere in the locality.  

Bridge Street, Bolton Street, Square Street, and the original Market Place at the junction in the centre of the town are the main shopping areas, all having buildings of character, some of which are listed.

A market is held each Saturday (map ref. 19), close to the Railway Station and the main shopping streets.  A car boot sale takes place each Sunday in the car park alongside the Railway Station.
