Leek Levelling Up Fund

Leek Market Halls

The project will see the Victorian Market Halls refurbished to broaden the appeal of the markets to a wider range of customers and traders and provide creative and artistic space for community use.

Works at the Trestle Market include:

3 new food and beverage lock-up units
replacement of the trestle tables with lighter weight alternatives
addition of a further entrance to allow the two market halls to operate independently and enabling weekend and evening events to be held in the Trestle Market.

At the Butter Market Hall, the Victorian character of the shop fronts will be restored to improve the customer experience and provide modern, flexible retail units.

Supporting the Councils net zero target, solar panels and air source heat pumps will be installed along with replacement of the Trestle Market roof to improve insulation.

Customer safety, comfort and security will be improved at both market halls with the installation of Wi-Fi, CCTV, insulation and heating

When / Timescale

The Butter Market and Trestle Market will close for refurbishment on Easter Saturday 30^th March 2024. The refurbishment is scheduled for 28 weeks
