Penkridge's local market has been revived and is held on Wednesdays and Saturdays, hosting up to 100 stalls.
There is also an antiques market every Thursday.
The substantial tower of the Grade I listed Church of St. Michael and All Angels on the western edge of town, parts of which date back to the early thirteenth century, is visible even to passing road and rail travelers.
A smaller Methodist church is on the largest road (the A449) route through the town, and there are three short streets of buildings dating from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, from the railway station eastward.
Penkridge has its own historic stocks and cells remain in the town centre.
